Trump Administration Won’t Withdraw from Paris Climate Deal
Wall Street Journal ^ | 9/16/2017 | Emre Peker

NEW YORK—Trump administration officials said Saturday the U.S. wouldn’t pull out of the Paris Agreement, offering to re-engage in the international deal to fight climate change, according to the European Union’s top energy official.

The shift from President Donald Trump’s decision in June to renegotiate the landmark accord or craft a new deal came during a meeting of more than 30 ministers led by Canada, China and the European Union in Montreal.

“The U.S. has stated that they will not renegotiate the Paris accord, but they will try to review the terms on which they could be engaged under this agreement,” European Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Cañete said.

WH responds: “There has been no change in the United States’ position on the Paris agreement…”

“As the President has made abundantly clear, the US is withdrawing unless we can re-enter on terms more favorable to our country.”

Put your pearls away. If you read more comments, you will find that the White House denied the claim.

FR policy is to post the title as is. WSJ is fairly reputable but since this was posted the WH has pushed back on this story. Remains TBD. Javanka, etc no doubt are pushing DJT in the wrong direction here.

No this is pure Fake News

Notice it comes from the already delusional Europeans.

Trump and his EPA have already done much to undercut this nonsense

Don’t let the left confuse you

Our Congress says there is no money for a wall to keep our children and grandchildren safe, so there is no money to throw away on a phony global climate change scam. NOT ONE DAMN PENNY, or we will never vote again.

“European Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Cañete said.”

Post some objective, in context, primary source proof for that assertion.

You would be right. A few minutes ago from Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Sarah Sanders‏Verified account @PressSec

Our position on the Paris agreement has not changed. @POTUS has been clear, US withdrawing unless we get pro-America terms.

"Trump Administration confirms it will exit Paris accords" according to datricker who has no access to the decision makers. Datricker provided no specifics other then an anonymous source close the president.

Wow that was easy - so why does WSJ go to Europe to ask a question that can be only answered in Washington?

Looks like WSJ wants in on the fake news train. Losers.
