Issues: Foreign Affairs Environment

Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement on today's announcement by President Obama the Paris climate agreement will take effect next month:

"This is exactly the type of circumstance the Founders had in mind when they gave ratification authority to the United States Senate instead of the United Nations or to the European Union. Barack Obama is not the king of the United States. He's not the king of the world. He's our President and he works for us. Unilaterally disarming the American economy at the behest of the world is not in his job description."
