It appears Jared has changed his tune. Instead of urging Trump to sign the Paris nonsense, but that the “standards in the agreement need to be changed” although not elaborated. Jared may see the writing on the wall that Trump has not and will not be swayed.
The socialist having failed 20 years ago with the Kyoto Protocol, this one looks watered down by not holding nations to mandated limitations, but to what nations would initially pledge to the Paris Accord. It’s the hook before the later switch or ‘framework’ before they up the ante.
The socialists are attempting another bite at the money apple. Trump isn’t going to play games with them like China who is only playing lip service for now until it becomes a detriment.
I’ll take your review of the Jared factor (don’t know enough of his post Europe visit to comment), and pretty much agree with the rest.
Notice we’re always the bad guy, but our traditional enemies get a complete pass on the subject. You alluded to it.
The U.N. and the E.U. want to hobble the United States.
Good luck with that under Trump, figuratively speaking.
That is why I've never considered Paris to be a big deal. It's just an agreement to do whatever each country wants.
What Trump needs to do is repeal the executive orders and regs Obama put in place in the name of Paris.
