    NEW YORK—Trump administration officials said Saturday the U.S. wouldn’t pull out of the Paris Agreement, offering to re-engage in the international deal to fight climate change, according to the European Union’s top energy official.

    The shift from President Donald Trump’s decision in June to renegotiate the landmark accord or craft a new deal came during a meeting of more than 30 ministers led by Canada, China and the European Union in Montreal.

    “The U.S. has stated that they will not renegotiate the Paris accord, but they will try to review the terms on which they could be engaged under this agreement,” European Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Cañete said.

    When Trump said we'd leave the accord on June 1, that was the rumor. Now you are seeing what's actually happening.

    So all the enviro regs that Trump stopped or rolled back mean he wants to sign on to the Paris accord?

    This is just more rumors from anonymous sources and some Euro idiot trying to jawbone us back into the herd, talk to me when Trump signs something.

    White House Denies WSJ Report That Trump Will Not Withdraw From Paris Climate Deal

    Update: it took about 10 minutes for the White House to deny the WSJ report, with the NYT and Bloomberg reporting that a White House spokesman has denied the WSJ story claiming US might stay in Paris accords, saying "position hasn't changed." Bloomberg confirms the White House comment, stating that there is "no change" in the US position on the Paris Deal, and that US will withdraw unless presented with "more favorable terms."

    will withdraw unless presented with "more favorable terms"
    Which means they are working on re-negotiating it- not walking away from it. At least not yet. Threatening to walk away is a negotiation tactic.

    What he said in the past:

    In June, Trump said the United States would begin the three-year process for withdrawing while simultaneously signaling he was willing to reconsider if the United States could get more favorable terms.

    “So we're getting out, but we will start to negotiate, and we’ll see if we can make a deal that’s fair,” Trump said.
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ent/673988001/

    The treaty is also non- binding on countries.

    Under the terms of the international agreement to reduce greenhouse gases, the earliest a nation can formally withdraw is November 2020 — the same month Trump faces re-election. But because the greenhouse gas reduction targets are largely voluntary, Trump said he would immediately "cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord."
    Trump also said he was going to walk away from NAFTA but they are working on re-negotiating it as well.

    It means his position has not changed, he also said he did not think it was possible to get a deal that would be acceptable, claiming you are open to a "better deal" is a way to keep the enviro-morons of your back while killing the deal with unsatisfiable demands, he seems to be doing the same thing to NAFTA.

    You could replace the words 'environmental' and 'healthcare' with 'immigration' and your sentence could read the same.

    Trump folds again:
    assumes $hit was believed in the first place
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    The parallels between Trumps art of the deal progressive policies are striking. Trump in spirit and rhetoric says he is against the Paris climate accord. Yet we know the government is still trying to make other government's do more and we probably haven't broken any of the rules we made ourselves. He did the same thing with healthcare, when there was republican consensus to repeal so he pushed for more Obama care instead of repeal and now more people are talking about single payer then ever something he defended in the debates.

    Eh, who knows what the $#@! to believe anymore...so much scatterbrained bull$#@! that I can't make sense of any of it.




    NEW YORK—The Trump administration is considering staying in the Paris agreement to fight climate change “under the right conditions,” offering to re-engage in the international deal three months after President Donald Trump said the U.S. would pull out if it didn’t find more favorable terms.

    During a climate-change meeting Saturday of more than 30 ministers led by Canada, China and the European Union, in Montreal, U.S. officials broached revising U.S. climate-change goals, two participants said, signaling a compromise that would keep the U.S. at the table even if it meant weakening the international effort. Still, the move would maintain international unity behind the painstakingly negotiated Paris accord, after Mr. Trump suggested he might seek a new agreement.

    On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on CBS that Mr. Trump is “open to finding those conditions where we can remain engaged with others on what we all agree is still a challenging issue.”

    Between Dump and the fakenews you can't really believe anything until he actually does it.

    I still don't believe that he will agree to anything that the Paris accord member will agree to.
