Jonah: Trump’s Wrong the Paris Accord Is a Drag on the Economy; It Doesn’t Do Much

GOLDBERG: I thought it was perfectly fine for Trump to get out of the Paris accord. I thought he did it for weird, wrong reasons.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why should he have done it?

GOLDBERG: Well, because first of all, the idea that somehow this is really vital, important agreement that virtually every country in the world agrees with and all big businesses agree with kind of suggests it’s not that onerous or binding. And what he said...

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, it’s entirely voluntary.

GOLDBERG: Well, that’s the point. He goes out and says it costs us all this money, and it’s this huge a drag on the economy. In reality, it’s not. It doesn’t do much. But this idea, which we’re hearing a lot of, and I think Katrina is alluding to that somehow America’s global leadership is put at risk because of this strikes me as somewhat ridiculous. We’re the only country in the world that can protect forests, we’re largest economy in the world. Those — when there’s a terror attack, when there’s — Russia invades Ukraine, the world isn’t going to stop looking to us because of the Paris accord.
