Trump’s grave mistake 

Mr Trump's claim that the Paris accord will put American citizens and taxpayers at a great disadvantage, as well as leave millions of American workers out of work - is not 100 per cent correct.
Despite the US pledge to contribute $3 billion dollars - twice that of the second-largest pledge-maker, Japan - other countries are paying much more in terms of per-capita contribution. According to the UN Green Climate Fund, Sweden and Luxembourg have pledged to pay nearly $60 per capita; Norway will pay $50 for each citizen; while the US - if it remains - is responsible for only $9.41 per capita.
Despite the fact that American coal-miners and petroleum-cracking company workers will lose their jobs as a result of the agreement; there will be new jobs in the new industries that produce alternative energy. Remember, both the US government and US companies have invested vast sums in developing alternative energy already.
Lastly, during the past seven decades, the US has been the world's exceptionally strong leader in the development and maintenance of democracy, trade and security. Hence, it is a greatest disappointment to see this country turn its back on such responsible and respectable role.
