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.

...neither Politico nor CNN nor the WSJ has sources familiar with Trump’s discussions with his inner circle or Trump’s discussions with Ivanka.

I agree. It's speculation reported as fact. Fake news.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Tone it down? All I said was it will do him no good. He could appoint Pelosi SOS and the powers would still come after him.

As for Ivanka... She’s best friends with Chelsea and that makes no sense.

These liberal Kuschners are political poison. What does Jared have on Trump? This is BAD news.

The so called news cites “sources” no names attached because it is fake news.

Sounds like more FAKE NEWS to me from the Globalists that are trying to divide President Trump's base. 

 

I'll wait until we see it.

 

I have faith in President Trump.  He has already said Global Warming is a hoax.

IMO, Ivanka is DJT’s Achilles heel

I agree. She needs to take care of her own life and leave ours alone.

I’m one fat grasshopper :)

In NYC circles, it’s not much of a secret she is an ultra feminist and leans left.

She practically falls left :)

But one thing we do know, I THINK, is that Trump is his own man, but why let a liberal (which he is) like his son in law into the highest echelons?

Are we playing shadow state again? I thought that game was over.

I understood your point that having two minority class victim types(Jewish or female) near him is not going to help him as tokens for the Left that he’s tolerant

But at first glance it looks a lot different from that meaning

Trust me
