President Donald Trump’s economic adviser Gary Cohn appears keen on working with the world about climate change, setting up a meeting next week at the United Nations to discuss the issue. The breakfast will include climate and energy ministers from around the world, according to a New York Times report. The Times cited an invitation describing the event as “an opportunity for key ministers with responsibility for these issues to engage in an informal exchange of views and discuss how we can move forward most productively.”
Cohn was notably an advocate for the Trump administration staying in the Paris Climate Agreement, describing the president in May as “evolving” on the issue.
“His views are evolving, which is exactly what they should be,” Cohn told reporters during a press briefing in Sicily at the G7 summit.
Despite Cohn’s advice, Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement.
“I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” Trump said during a speech at the White House explaining his decision

Why is this happening?
Damn - the uniparty is winning.
Time for a new political party. If the GOP is going to sell us out and participate in the destruction of America then they’re no good to us.
Vote ‘em out.
There’s been a soft coup and Trump he been neutralized.
Why? The Paris Accords will not be renegotiated. That has been made clear. So is the President having second thoughts on withdrawing?
Cohn is an old Goldman Sachs guy who undoubtedly has a Financial Interest in non fossil fuel energy sources. If you want to know where the big Climate Change advocates are coming from, just “Follow The Money”.
Get this idiot out of there!
If I recall correctly, when pulling out of Paris, Pres. Trump didn’t decry climate change. He pulled out because it was a bad deal for the U.S.

That was in May. Trump withdrew in June.
There must be a lot of depressed people on FR who always assume the worst.
Trump has always said that he is open to renegotiation.
If it’s cash in OUR pockets I don’t care if he works with the International Unicorn Society...
Trump should fire him while he’s out of the country.
At these ‘Climate Change Meetings’, I wonder what they do? Do they talk about science and how global warming works, or how to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, or debate how China and India can reduce their carbon output?
Good move, give them some lip service to keep them under control.
Death from within.
If Trump ever fires G. Cohn, it probably will not happen until Cohn has attempted Tax Reform. That’s supposed to be his specialty.
It was thought that the swamp was draining,but what was draining were only the MAGA originals. Something tells me that there has been a bait and switch. The dust has settled and we are back to where we started.
Oh, bull.
Could be a rabbit trail to keep the globalists off balance for bit longer. When they start yapping again because there’s no action Trump will toss them another worthless bone, enough to make them think might care.
So is the President having second thoughts on withdrawing?In your dreams.
