Pelosi: Pulling out of Paris Deal ‘a Stunning Abdication of American Leadership’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "I thought it would be important for us to come together today because yesterday, President Trump announced his decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement. It was a stunning abdication of American leadership. Walking away from the agreement is externally dangerous. When I was Speaker of the House, this was my flagship issue. We all wanted to pass health care, that's for sure, but specifically, the issue of climate and energy independence are a challenge to our generation in a very important way."
