.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump’s move on Paris climate agreement raises 2020 stakes.
Donald Trump had only been in office for six months when he announced his intention to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, isolating the United States, which had helped negotiate the international agreement. In practical terms, however, the president’s declaration was largely symbolic: under the terms of the deal, no country can withdraw in the first three years.
For more than two years President Donald Trump has talked about pulling the United States out of the landmark Paris climate agreement. Starting Monday he finally can do something about it. It’s worth noting that the president appears to know very little about the climate agreement he’s eager to reject. Kellyanne Conway conceded two years ago that when it came to the climate accord, Trump “started with a conclusion.” That’s generally not how responsible policymaking is supposed to work.
In the same speech, Trump looked ahead, assuring the world, “We’re getting out, but we will start to negotiate, and we will see if we can make a deal that’s fair.” There’s little evidence to suggest the White House made any effort to follow through on this half-hearted commitment.
