"Four years after the Democratic controlled Congress rejected the president’s cap-and-trade scheme, the White House wants to sidestep Congress and commit the United States to a United Nations agreement which would ‘name and shame’ countries into adopting higher emissions standards. This just proves that the president is prepared to pursue his job-killing climate agenda at any cost, which the American people and House of Representatives will not stand for. I'm not sure which is more concerning, the president's willingness to sidestep the Constitution and Congress, or his relentless pursuit of radical policies which will have devastating consequences on our economy." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
