‘That’s a bad deal for this country’

PRUITT: "Under this agreement Jake as you know China took know steps to reduce emissions until 2030. The rest of the nation applauded what we did in Paris because it puts at economic disadvantage while the rest of the world continued the status quo. And caused us to have to focus on a reduction of 26 to 28% what’s not known is the 26 to 28% reduction wea greed to an in Paris every action taken by the Obama Administration we still fell 40% shove the targets. And so it was a failing agreement to begin with but yet constrained the economy while the rest of the world skated. That's a bad deal for this country."
