That's right, the Biggest Swamp can't just act without following the agreement the US committed to. As usual he thinks he's a King that can issue edicts, but as his travel ban proved there are laws that must be obeyed. According to the article:
"As a matter of both international law and U.S. law, the president could
withdraw from the Paris Agreement pursuant to Article 28.1, which allows
a party to withdraw by giving one year’s written notification to the
Depositary (i.e., the U.N. Secretary-General), beginning three years
after the Paris Agreement’s entry into force for that party."
The agreement went into effect 11/4/16, so the earliest written notice for withdrawal would be 11/4/19, which wouldn't take effect until 11/4/20. So screw you (notmy)President, we're still in the accord like it or not.
