The problem with Trump leaving the Paris Agreement is inevitably when there will be a Democrat in the White House and they sign a new climate agreement; the terms will mostly likely be more harsh than Paris. On top of that, American coal companies lose overall influence to European and Chinese rivals that would dictate the rules.
I understand the appeal of Trump's America First policy but it couldn't have come at a worse possible time with a resurgent Russia and rising China.
