Trump Ends Trip Where He Started: At Odds With Allies and Grilled on Russia
Europe said that He managed to do it with the Saudis and the Israelis.
Emmanuel Macron said that There’s a situation where it’s six — if you count the European Union, seven — against one.
In a recent letter to Mr. Trump from 10 state attorneys general, West Virginia’s attorney general, Patrick Morrisey, wrote, "Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is an important and necessary step toward reversing the harmful energy policies and unlawful overreach of the Obama era." On trade, Mr. Trump pushed his demand
that any agreements negotiated by the United States must be fair.
The climate accord was the most vivid sign of division between the United States and its allies,
but it was not the only one: Mr. Trump also scolded Germany for its trade practices and lectured NATO members for not adequately supporting the alliance.

TAORMINA, Italy — President Trump declined to endorse the Paris climate accords on Saturday, ending his first foreign trip much as he began it: at odds with several of the nation’s allies
and under a cloud of questions back home about his ties to Russia.
The stalemate leaves the country’s future role in the climate accord in flux, though Mr. Trump promised to make
a decision in the week ahead on whether the United States will be the first of 195 signatories to pull out.
In a message on Twitter on Saturday, he said: "I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week!" There is an intense debate inside the West Wing over whether to withdraw
from the accord or to try to renegotiate its terms, pitting hard-line nationalists, like Stephen K. Bannon, the chief strategist, against more mainstream advisers like Mr. Cohn.
