Today, Members of the Western Caucus released statements applauding President Trump's formal withdraw of the Paris Climate Accord:

"While other nations like China and India are increasing emissions, the United States has shouldered the burden of increased energy costs and the loss of American jobs by their participation in this agreement. America, and especially my home state of Minnesota has been leading the way to reduce emissions. Prior to this agreement, Minnesota cut emissions by 15 percent, and that number continues to rise, despite this flawed deal, because we are committed to finding innovative solutions. I applaud President Trump and his Administration for officially withdrawing, and for responsibly advancing America's interests," said Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06).
