"First, the left-wing alarmists are proclaiming that the sky is falling. But the Paris Agreement is strictly voluntary and without enforcement mechanisms. Why would environmentalists support it is beyond me. It is not a formal treaty. "Which brings me to my second point. The Iran nuclear deal is also not a formal treaty. The Senate did not ratify the Iran nuclear deal as such anymore than it did the Paris Agreement. Both of them are nothing more than non-binding executive agreements. So why did Trump jettison the Paris Agreement and not the Iran nuclear deal? After all, for all of the Paris Agreement's shortcomings, it would not result in the building of an arsenal of nuclear weapons...." http://the1onlyaarongoldstein.blogspot.com/2017/06/if-trump-can-withdraw-from-paris.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different type of contract and requires getting out in a way that won't make us look like we can't be trusted on agreements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whatever the Iranian nuclear deal was, it's still a foreign agreement that was never ratified by the Senate that could easily be nullified as unconstitutional. Israel can't wait indefinitely for Trump to act -- and that includes moving our embassy to Jerusalem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
