    A sad day for the global community, as the US turns its back on the fight against climate change. EU deeply regrets this unilateral decision

    "We're getting out" - President Donald Trump announces US is withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement
    http://bbc.in/2rZ81v1

    BUT WAIT...THEN Trump states he will talk about re-entering it on his terms....

    This great businessman does not realize that if you walk out on an international signed agreement where China and 193 others sighed it...WHAT are these 194 going to give him...??

    Interestingly a large number of large American companies were actually behind this treaty....AND if Trump really READ the fine print..in the future a large number of products that make up international trade MUST adhere to a new set of energy standards AND if US companies cannot adhere to those standards......THEY cannot then export their products to those countries that signed the agreement....

    NOT exactly sure WHY he assumes this supports American companies and their workers IF they are export focused....

    The price he will pay is then far higher.......

    Interesting that Trump has now handed China a massive "win"......both politically and economically....

    United States joins Nicaragua and Syria as the only 3 countries to not support the Paris climate change agreement
