“This is great news. Trump set the United States on the road to energy independence with his regulatory reforms. Now he is boosting U.S. sovereignty and putting Americans first by withdrawing us from the Paris climate agreement, which was nothing more than an attempt by the global elites to control free economic choices by directing energy usage.”
