Nikki Haley pushes back against CBS’ John Dickerson on Trump’s climate change views
U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley beat back persistent questioning Sunday about whether President Trump believes in climate change and vowed that America will continue to be a clean energy leader after exiting the Paris climate change agreement.
Ms. Haley vouched that the president not only believes in climate change but that human activity contributes to it.
“He believes the climate is changing and he believes pollutants are part of that equation. And I know how that he is absolutely intent on making sure that we have clean air, clean water, that he makes sure that we’re doing everything we can to keep America’s moral compass in the world when it comes to the environment,” Ms. Haley said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“We’ve done that in the past. We’ll do it in the future. It’s what the U.S. does. It’s what we’ll continue to do,” she told host John Dickerson.
