President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the United States would withdraw from dozens of global organisations and treaties, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Trump, who has thrown the full weight of his domestic policy behind fossil fuels, has openly scorned the scientific consensus that human activity is warming the planet, deriding climate science as a "hoax" at the UN's high-level summit last September.

Trump's assertion of US dominance over the oil-rich South American country comes despite its interim leader Delcy Rodriguez saying there is no foreign power governing Caracas.

Trump has stepped up his designs on the mineral-rich, self-governing Danish territory in the arctic since the US military seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro last weekend.

Tatsuji Sugimoto, 63, resigned last month, part way into his second term as governor of Fukui prefecture in central Japan after allegations of serial sexual harassment emerged from a whistleblower system.
