manicholic 3,694 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Trump has privately told multiple people, including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, that he plans to leave the Paris agreement on climate change, according to three sources with direct knowledge. Publicly, Trump's position is that he has not made up his mind and when we asked the White House about these private comments, Director of Strategic Communications Hope Hicks said, "I think his tweet was clear. He will make a decision this week." Why this matters: Pulling out of Paris is the biggest thing Trump could to do unravel Obama's climate policies. It also sends a stark and combative signal to the rest of the world that working with other nations on climate change isn't a priority to the Trump administration. And pulling out threatens to unravel the ambition of the entire deal, given how integral former President Obama was in making it come together in the first place. Caveat: Although Trump made it clear during the campaign and in multiple conversations before his overseas trip that he favored withdrawal, he has been known to abruptly change his mind — and often floats notions to gauge the reaction of friends and aides. On the trip, he spent many hours with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, powerful advisers who back the deal. Behind-the-scenes: The mood inside the EPA this week has been one of nervous optimism. In a senior staff meeting earlier this week, Pruitt told aides he wanted them to pump the brakes on publicly lobbying for withdrawal from Paris. Instead, the EPA staff are quietly working with outside supporters to place op-eds favoring withdrawal from Paris. https://www.axios.com/scoop-trump-tells-confidants-he-plans-to-leave-paris-climate-deal-2424446776.html There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I wish Republicans would just stuff their vendetta against Obama and think about what's right for the World and not just their party and the 1% Thanks Trump voters.

Qualle1 1,385 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Actually, this was no "G7 summit" - but a "The Orange vs G6 summit"! Chancellor Angela Merkel and the other five heads of government and states as well as the leader of the European Union are more than disappointed with the policy of The Orange. If the USA should really leave the Paris agreement on climate change, this will only increase the isolation of the USA. 145 nations have already signed the Paris agreement on climate change - but only one bloody nation is about to step out of line...

Sid 6,755 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 All he's going to accomplish is make himself even more of a laughingstock around the world. The next president will sign the US back on and be seen as some sort of hero for it ...ıllıllı c h e r r y c h e r r y b o o m b o o m ıllıllı...
