White House Seeks to Avoid Quitting Paris Deal, Climate Officials Say

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 multiple officials at a global warming summit.

The U.S. position on reviewing the terms of its participation in the landmark accord came during a meeting of more than 30 ministers led by Canada, China and the European Union in Montreal. In June, President Donald Trump said the U.S. would withdraw from the deal unless it could find more favorable terms.
U.S. officials in Montreal, led by White House senior adviser Everett Eissenstat, broached revising U.S. climate-change goals, two participants said, signaling a compromise that would keep the U.S. at the table even if 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.

“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.

In a statement*Saturday*afternoon, a White House spokeswoman said the administration’s position on Paris had not changed, but also noted that the president’s stance on withdrawing from the deal had never been set in stone.

“There has been no change in the U.S.’s position on the Paris agreement,” said deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters. “As the president has made abundantly clear, the U.S. is withdrawing unless we can re-enter on terms that are more favorable to our country.”

Multiple participants at the Montreal gathering said Mr. Eissenstat’s approach, though it is likely to entail a significant reduction in the U.S.’s ambition to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, fueled optimism among proponents of the Paris deal. Since Mr. Trump’s inauguration in January, officials from China to the EU and Canada have tried to convince his administration that fighting climate change is also a boon for the economy and jobs, and not just an ideological battle.

“We are pleased the U.S. continues to engage and recognize the economic opportunity of clean growth, including clean energy,” said Canadian Environment Minister Catherine McKenna in a statement to The Wall Street Journal.

If president Trump says he's going to do something then he'll damn well do it.

He is a man of his word.

Judge him on his record.

What barely educated Trump voters don't realize, is this "withdrawl" from the Paris agreement was all a kabuki theater.
Undoing everything Obama was for, is an article of faith amongst half witted Trump-ettes and other rightwing dunces.

Trump may be to stupid to understand the science of greenhouse gas emissions. But, other people aren't as dumb as Trump, including corporate industry, insurance companies, and others who realize the risk climate change poses to our economies, not to mention the environment.

If liberals were capable of learning from their mistakes, they'd quit being liberals.

[Jarod]

Just like when he said he was banning transsexuals from the military or ending DACA, he lies to his base all the time, then his administration does something different...almost every time.

And they fall for it!

[Jarod]

Member when he announced he was going to ban all Muslims from United States?

It's the same MO, claim the extreme then don't do it. It's base falls for it every single time, why are they so stupid?
