Rep. Jenkins Statement on Paris Accord

Statement

U.S. Representative Evan Jenkins (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement today on President Trump's plan to withdraw the United States from the Paris accord on the environment:

"After years of policies that put America second, we now have an administration and president focused on making America competitive again. President Trump is keeping his word by pulling us out of an agreement that was all pain, no gain for America's workers, families and economy.

"The Paris accord puts the United States on an uneven playing field, forcing us to make costly reductions all while countries like China and India make their own rules. The Obama administration has done enough damage to West Virginia's jobs and our state's way of life, and saying no to the Paris accord is saying no to Obama's radical environmental and anti-jobs agenda."
