WASHINGTON: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said he will cancel the historic Paris Climate deal if voted to power as the agreement would cost the US economy $5.3 trillion and “skyrocket” electricity prices.
Speaking at an election rally in Florida, Trump said he will create jobs all across America and provide cheaper energy to people, especially farmers.
“I believe so much in the environment. Believe it or not, people are shocked - I’ve won many environmental awards. Many. But the Paris deal, supported by Hillary, will cost our country another $5.3 trillion over a period of time and skyrocket electricity prices,” he said.
“We will cancel this deal so that our companies can compete. We want clean beautiful air. We want crystal clear water. That’s what we want. We want to be able to do business throughout the world, not so that we can’t compete because of these crazy deals that our president is making,” he said.
He said he will unlock $50 trillion in energy reserves, meaning many new jobs all across America.
