Following the election of President Donald Trump his administration took steps that would eventually withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord and initiate additional steps designed to invigorate the American economy making it the envy of the world both for its intensive energy development and revitalization of its manufacturing sector...The Paris Climate Accord would have required the United States to "pony up" billions of dollars to assist other countries, including China, in their attempt to reduce their carbon footprint, while strangling the output of the American economy. U. S. deficits would increase and monies would be spent abroad in search of dubious goals that could have been better spent at home in areas such as improved health care, job development and moving the American economy into the 21st century.
