Trump considering ways to quickly exit Paris agreement: report
By Harper Neidig - 11/12/16 02:35 PM EST

Donald Trump is apparently already eyeing ways for the U.S. to pull out of the landmark Paris climate agreement that the Obama administration formally signed onto in September.

Trump is reportedly considering either sending a letter withdrawing the U.S. from a 1992 convention that serves as the parent treaty of the Paris agreement or issuing a presidential order to delete the U.S. signature from the new accord.

A source on Trump’s transition team told Reuters that the president-elect wants to bypass the stipulation in the agreement that calls for a four-year process for a country to exit the accord.

"It was reckless for the Paris agreement to enter into force before the election," the source said.
