Ivanka Trump has been tapped by her father, President Donald Trump, to review the United States’ commitment to the Paris Climate Change agreement, signed by former President Barack Obama as an executive agreement in 2015 without congressional approval, the Associated Press is reporting.
The agreement requires countries to cut greenhouse emissions on a country-by-country basis, with Obama committing the U.S. to reduce carbon emissions by at least 26 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.
The U.S. is expected to have a representative at the United Nations’ climate change meeting in Bonn, Germany, next week but Trump’s advisers — including daughter Ivanka and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt — are meeting on Tuesday in Washington to decide whether to stick with or withdraw from the deal.

Nepotism in the WH and in the Congress needs to be forbidden.
***********
Agree. Nepotism is a very corrosive thing and has no place in government. Trump should be setting an example for others to follow.
Heh. I came to this thread for the mental gymnastics and won’t be disappointed.
Ha ha—I’d love to hear the excuses for this one!
Jivanka need to go back to NYC—and stay out of DC.
Ivanka will likely be sobbing over those photos of polar bears supposedly trapped on an ice floe and wail about how we have to do something to save them!
This is unfolding into a surreal nightmare.
WHY are she and Jared even there?
I thought Trump was going to surround himself with the best and most qualified.
They ARE NOT that.
Still doing lots of great things.
But how could Trump NOT understand that the LAST thing we voted for was nepotism?
What happened to drain the swamp.
Nepotism NEVER ENDS GOOD!!!1
Does Ivanka have a position in the WH that is subject to financial disclosure? If not how do we know she or Jared are not heavily invested in Climate change BS—stocks and related companies?
Conflict of Interest ?
Will Ivanka’s tears move her father to save the par bears?
Ivanka with her business ties to China—never mind her liberal roots -— makes her the last person qualified to go against the Chinese.
But, I suppose the Princess is bored and looking for more camera time. Maybe her next book will be titled: “Women Who Breathe”.
Wonderful news. /s
She has NO qualifications except her parentage for this post. Trump is losing it.
Ivanka is a unifying phenomenon.
The libs despise her and want to take her down.
The conservatives mostly despise her politics and want her sent home.
Lamecherry is really against the Prince and Princess. She has a claim. It could be something she just made up based on the reality that it could very well be true.
WH staffers walk on edge and know anytime Ivanka disagrees she can and does ask for 10 minutes with Daddy.
This is yet another example.
Prince and Princess will see to it that the campaign promises about climate change just end up as mostly rhetoric.
Trump had this same daughter as he developed his Conservative beliefs, won the nomination and then the general election while promoting them, and then started implementing them all.
When are you folks going to come to terms with this?
He did this just to drive certain FReepers over the edge...
This was my worst fear on this. Get ready for a broken promise. We will be staying in this so called “treaty”. So it looks like Ivanka will be steering the climate BS. This is terrible news. Damn it!
Is there no one in his cabinet better qualified and suited to handle this??
He already got talked out of leaving NAFTA, we’ll see...
I have a different view on “nepotism” because Mrs. Submareener and I worked together for over thirty years. Sometimes I was her boss and sometimes she was my boss.
I also have a different view on where the world is at this point. We are 136 days or so out from the start of The End of Days. Seven years of massive swamp draining, shaking and baking! So everything that happens now is totally under the control of the Great I AM, so you will know that I AM is the one and true Elohim.
Ivanka’s interests are in a trust.
That trust is run by Jared’s brother and sister.
Yeah, the one that was just in China pushing visas for $500k for a building that has been vacant for a decade and Kushners bought in 2014. Jared says he sold his shares in that project to a trust . He is not beneficiary of that trust.
I would like to know just who is the beneficiary. Like his kids? Or a corporation that he owns shares in? Or just who?
disgusting...
