Just to remind everyone... America never ratified that treaty.
Obama signed it, but without the advice and consent of the senate, he was signing for himself but not the US.
I think in his first days in office Trump should submit the Paris treaty to the Senate for ratification and request a vote. Doing so would remind the world that we have not yet ratified the treaty (even though Obama said we did).
If the Senate rejects the treaty, then if any other nation attempts to impose tariffs they would likely be breaking existing trade agreements.
I considered it to be a horrible act for Obama to sign a document saying we had ratified that agreement, effectively lying to the rest of the world.
