Mitch McConnell: I Was ‘Distressed’ by Obama’s Climate Deal with China

“We’re really excited about having a great new bunch here, and we hope they’re going to be joined Dan Sullivan and Bill Cassidy shortly. We’re here to make the place function again, and begin to make progress for the American people. The problem is the president continues to send signals that he has no intention of moving toward the middle. I was particularly distressed by the deal apparently he’s reached with the Chinese on his current trip, which as I read, the agreement requires the Chinese to do nothing at all for 16 years while these carbon emission regulations are creating havoc in my state and other states around the country. I would welcome the president moving to the middle. I’ve said before I hope we can do some business on trade and maybe tax reform. The first indications have not been very hopeful.”
