Trump attacks Paris climate agreement, cites France protests

WASHINGTON, Dec 8, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald Trump on Saturday
once again attacked the Paris agreement on fighting climate change, citing
the ongoing protests in the French capital as proof that his decision to
reject the pact was sound.

His morning tweet came in the middle of UN climate talks in Poland, where
nearly 200 nations have gathered to agree on a universal rulebook to make
good on the promises they made in the 2015 Paris climate deal.

“The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and
riots all over France,” Trump said.

“People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world
countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the
environment.”
