WASHINGTON—At the request of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his wife, Ivanka Trump, language critical of a global climate deal was struck from an executive order that Mr. Trump is planning to sign soon, according to multiple people familiar with the move.
Mr. Trump is expected to sign within days at least two executive orders that will begin the process of trying to dismantle former President Barack Obama’s climate and environmental regulations.
Mr. Kushner, a senior adviser to Mr. Trump, and Ms. Trump, the president’s eldest daughter, intervened to strike language about the climate deal from an earlier draft of the executive order, according to these people.
The executive order, which targets Mr. Obama’s broad climate agenda, now includes no mention of the climate deal, which nearly 200 nations struck in Paris in 2015, in large part due to a strong push by the Mr. Obama’s administration.
One White House official said both Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump have been considered a moderating influence on the White House's position on climate change and environmental issues. The move is the latest sign of influence Mr. Trump's daughter and Mr. Kushner have in a White House that has seen internal divisions on a variety of issues, including foreign policy.

The article also talks about which environmental regulations Trump will be rolling back. One of things is a repeal of regulations which require power plants to cut the amount of carbon. Myron Ebell from the Conservative Enterprise Institute says that Trump hasn't made a decision on the Paris deal but that it wouldn't make sense to stay in if Trump is repealing those regulations.
Ping
more fake news
Then you’ve read nothing about Ivanka.
BTW, that phrase is being used a little too easily lately by those who are just too lazy to keep up on facts or read the current article.
Like this instance.
Her faith meant nothing to her. Why would you assume she is an ardent conservative in other ways?
“global climate deal “
Well... There is no such thing as “global climate”. It’s all regional climate, and they are all different. Some vary a little, some vary a lot.
How the word “deal” can even be associated with climate is beyond reason. Climate makes no deals. It is not anchored to the ground and can move on as it wishes.
The Paris Deal is about us helping clean up other countries messes. The problem is we end up paying and other countries don’t. It may take Trump some time to strategically deal with Carbon Credit Creeps, but it seems unavoidable.
I didn’t vote for her or her husband. I voted for Donald Trump.
This is a HUGE issue for me.
Trump has to stay strong!
Global Warming agenda is a socialist-globalist Weapon of Mass Destruction.
Not to mention a false religion.
Articles from unnamed sources are not real news.
Search is your friend.
Quit letting fake news divert your attention
“Articles from unnamed sources are not real news.”
Huh? The article is from the WSJ with authors named.
I don’t believe a single thing the WSJ says.
You assume much grasshopper. I never said or thought or cared whether Ivanka is a conservative.
I’ll guaran-damn-tee you though that neither Politico nor CNN nor the WSJ has sources familiar with Trump’s discussions with his inner circle or Trump’s discussions with Ivanka.
Trump has a woman and A Jew in powerful positions. It will do him no good.
>>Why would you assume she is an ardent conservative in other ways?
************************************************
Agree. I didn’t vote for her and I don’t like her liberal views or her unusual influence on DJT.
It’s so odd to witness the crazy liberal nut jobs go after her with such hate on the Daily Mail articles. I have defended her and upvoted her regularly until recently when I decided I really dislike her liberal influence.
Remember her BBF is Chelsea Clinotn, and she is buddies with MIKA, daughter of the globalist Bolshevik.
IMO, Ivanka is DJT’s Achilles heel.
wtf.
He has Stephen Miller very close and he’s a Jew and very much on our side
Sure Jews tend to be libs but there are some great ones....and it takes courage for them to buck their culture
Miller rejected his libtard upbringing in Santa Monica to ride with us
And at an early age
He’s brilliant and collected
Fascinating to watch how sharp he is
Kushner I don’t much about other than that he moved his family’s assets to Manhattan from Jersey....smart and good timing
His family are libs about everything except Israel..familiar aand they are bonafide nutty
Trump loves him
I don’t respect Ivanka dumping her Christianity nor him for requiring her and she is definitely left leaning
But she’s hot as grits and Trump obviously adores her....what are we gonna do?
Let’s hope for the best,,,,,Tillerson sees credits to help him one day he gets the tobacco company’s style litigation hit
Trump said climate change is bunk...he meant it....
You might want to tone it down.....
Trump is 10 feet tall
his children standing one on top of the other don’t reach his knees.
Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump - brainwashed youngsters in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Really, WSJ?
Nice little try at psyops there, trying to create the rumor that Ivanka and her husband’s discussions with Dad are overheard.
The days of ‘sources close to’ are over. In this age of reporters suddenly interested in investigating every single hair on the carpet, names and dates or it didn’t happen.
Notice it claims that Ivanka and hubby pushed to remove certain language - not to try to keep us in the agreement. fake crap begets fake crap and encourages the concern trolls.
