Trump: Paris Accord Took the Wealth of this Country Away

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “We are blessed in this country. We are sitting on top of tremendous wealth. Very few countries have that kind of wealth. We are bigger than Saudi Arabia, we're bigger than Russia, we're bigger than any other country in terms of our energy. A lot of things, like the Paris accord, the Paris accord basically took your wealth away. It didn’t give you the advantage. I said, 'I won’t sign it.' Because it took the wealth of this country away because they didn’t want us to use our energy, they didn't want us to use our great asset. We have tremendous wealth. You know, one of the interesting things, if you look at Iran and you look at Saudi Arabia and you look at the big, vast waterways that we patrol, years and years, for nothing. So that other people got rich, so we could get oil out of there. But so that other people got rich. We never got anything. Now we get things for it.”
