The Trump administration said it would not be considering using an international cap-and-trade program to meet former President Barack Obama’s pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions as part of the Paris agreement on climate change.
The Department of State gave generic, boilerplate responses to questions countries posed regarding aspects of America’s commitment under the Paris agreement.
At one point, China asked the Trump administration if it would consider an “international market mechanism” in place of Obama-era policies to cut emissions. The Trump administration said, “No.”
“Does the U.S. have any plan or preliminary thoughts on using international market mechanism to accommodate recent changes?” China asked in questions submitted through the U.N.
“If still not, what additional measure will the U.S. consider to take to achieve the 2020 target?” China asked.
“On the first question, no,” the Trump administration responded.
China joined the EU and others in pressing the Trump administration on how it plans to cut emissions and fight global warming while also rolling back policies the Obama administration put in place.
“On the second question, the Administration is reviewing existing policies and regulations in the context of a focus on strengthening U.S. economic growth and promoting jobs for American workers, and will not support policies or regulations that have adverse effects on energy independence and U.S. competitiveness,” was the administration’s answer to most questions.

yes, every day I get the “Daily 1600” in my email box. News straight from the Trump administration, unfiltered by the extremely leftwing media.
Indict her and the Foundation. She won’t be running for anything in 2020 except for “cover”.
Maybe this will console some of the concern trolls who jumped the shark about Kushner and Ivanka because it indicated Trump is still engaging in the Paris talks w/o totally dropping out. Looks like he has a firm handle on it and is only staying to be able to say “no” to the international effort to cripple us to “save the planet”...
Agreed! That Paris thing needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.
China’s pollution blows across the Pacific to the United States and they presume to lecture the United States on emissions?
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?
China does not to do anything until 2030 under the Paris agreement.
Precisely. beijing owns the worlds worst air pollution. This worthless agreement allows china decades to minutely minimize pollutants.
It’s obvious that Kushner and Ivanka have swayed him into betraying us.
They’ve now got him pretending he’s against cap and trade, and it’s all part of their master plan to sell us out to Soros.......
And for those of you who need it. /s
If the government decrees a “market based” plan, it is not market based.
I just love how he does this: “We’re talking,” “we’re negotiating” then, um hum, um hum.... NO.”
I understand the “selling us out” folks. I get that feeling every now and then when he does or says something that seems to be out of line but then come beck to the reality that just about everything he says and does is a negotiation tactic. His apparent support of the Obamacare Tweak is one such instance, but the game isn’t over yet. Were he to flat out refuse to accept anything but the golden ideal of full repeal and No Replace, we would be stuck with continuing Obamacare. He has established that a change can be made. He is not done yet.
Clinton and Kerry were on the Others' side in any negotiation.
Winning!! A ‘New England Patroits 700 American Day Care 0’ win...
Just to join my voice with others:
Cap and Trade is the supreme money laundering machine. It gives government (and the high muckety mucks who control government) ownership of every aspect of the economy. It gives totalitarians a tool for controlling not only the economy but every aspect of your individual life.
It is so valuable that they will keep coming back for it until they get it. They are not going to give up on this one.
Globalist asshat McCain is all in for Cap and Trade. That alone should give you shivers.
Xlinton & kerry were “on the other side” because thar’ where the big money bribes were coming from.
Exactly.A nation’s enemies will pay larger bribe money than its friends will. K&C are always on the $$ side of anything.
Mrs Bill is already running for 2020 in order to get the Foundation profitable again and providing tax free money to finance whatever the Clintons want done. If she has no prospecs to be in power again then there is no reason to “donate” to Hill&Bill’s Private Purse Foundation.
