Pruitt: We’re Safer Today and More Prosperous Because of the President Putting America First

EXCERPT:

PRUITT: "From 2000-2014, this country reduced our carbon footprint by almost 20 percent through innovation and technology. And we did that leading the world, we had nothing to be apologetic about in going to Paris. This country is leading the way in making sure the environment is protected, but also we’re seeing jobs and growth. We’ve always done it that way. And the president recognized that and said, 'We’re going to put America first, not last. We’re not going to be apologetic, and we’re going to exit that Paris accord and make sure the jobs are protected and environment is advanced. He did a great job in that decision. But as we see his leadership in America first, it’s not just with respect to environmental issues. We see it with tax reform, we see it in trade policy, we see it with national security. We’re safer today and more prosperous because of the President’s leadership on issues that put America first. And I hope you recognize and celebrate that this week."
