That has nothing to do with what they set as standards. We buy, they dictate how it is built and how the environment is impacted. We ignore their regulations and we sell nothing to them.

You simply don't get it, do you?
I have done quite well in INTERNATIONAL business. That's why I retired early from law enforcement. I mainly deal with French and Canadian companies. I Will break it down so even you might have a chance of understanding it. Company A sells company B 1 million worth of goods per year. Company B sells Company A 50 million worth of goods per year. Company B decides it wants to become an eco Nazi and tells company A, due to your manufacturing processes not being clean enough we are no longer buying from you. Company A says, ok, snip, we are taking our 50 million in business away from you and buying from company C. Company C gladly buys the goods that company A manufactured.

Nothing in this post is true or reasonable
This silly paris agreement was nothing more than a far left wealth redistribution scheme that has no hope of curbing any kind of warming nor does it even intend to. I have been saying this for years and today Trump called them all out on it.
All that is meaningless if you do not produce a product that meets the regulations of your customer. He/she will not buy it regardless of how inexpensively you sell the product. Trump removing us from the Paris Accord removes our voice and cedes the field to the Chinese and Europe. He has played politics and our economy is going to be severely harmed in the long-run. Again, if we do not produce products that meet their purchase requirements we will sell nothing.
In your post Company C will not buy from Company A, B, D, E, etc. if they do not meet their, Company C's, requirements.
You are Hilarious. When they suffer the retaleation for not buying our goods, they will have no choice other than to change their standard.
You are still missing the entire point. They can't. The economic impact from trade retaliation will be too costly for them to provoke that retaliation.
It was a wise move for Trump! Not for the green people, but for your normal, starving American in need of work, it was a brave and good move!
First of all, China has no room to talk! As for Europe, this is theirs to carry on with!

If Trump really cared about jobs for Americans he would be investing in clean energy. Even if he doesn't believe in climate change it doesn't take a lot to recognize that the rest of the world and most cities in the US do. There is going to be and already is huge demand for clean energy technologies and infrastructure.
That business is already going elsewhere and the US will be playing catchup for many decades while others countries take advantage of the global shift. It should be good for Australia and Canada who have heavily invested in these technologies. And of course ironically China.
As for cancelling the deal itself, it has no real benefit for the US since the targets are purely voluntary and non enforceable anyway had the the US remained in the deal and just decided not to meet the targets.

Your insult betrays the fact you have no argument
He almost never does. He is good at one-lines with no substance to back his comments up.
Please elaborate as your comment on China does not say anything.
You may disagree with China's policies. I do. But they did not walk away from the table. Now they will have a bigger say in policy and we will not be at the table to moderate what is decided upon.
What trade retaliation? How will we retaliate?
What will we do when they refuse us a seat at the table in future negotiations?
The EU has already said, "No, we are not going to negotiate a new accord."
EU Leaders tell Trump: No Paris Deal Renegotiation
Your post was nonsensical. It was flip and a distraction. You didn't offer any insight or logical points. What are you complaining about?
Trump said in the Rose Garden :"And that's fine too."
IOW, it's no skin off our nose. President Trump is working on behalf of the American people for a change.
Get used to it.
The smug leaders of Europe (some of whom are not elected officials) are shakedown artists as much as Jesse Jackson is.
No more. They don't pay their fair share in other matters anyway.
To sign a treaty which signs over our rights as a sovereign nation cannot be allowed. It's against our Constitution as well as against common sense. (Which ain't too common these days.)
