** UPDATE

Is the Trump administration reversing course on the Paris climate accord?

Confusion swirled around that question Saturday after a Trump spokeswoman knocked down a report that said the White House, in a stunning about-face, plans to remain a part of the global pact to fight climate change.



“There has been no change in the United States position on the Paris agreement,” said spokeswoman Lindsay Walters.

“As the President has made abundantly clear, the United States is withdrawing unless we can re-enter on terms that are more favorable to our country.”

Who knows what is true with this pack of liars?

[mcar]

1. More MAGA hats to be burned

[haveahart]

43. No, wait until he endorses the TPP.

[greeny2323]

2. OMG

Imagine the reaction of the right wing nuts!

[bearsfootball516]

3. White House is currently denying the story

I'm more inclined to believe the Wall Street Journal, but I'm hopeful this is true. Would be a massive win for the world and a big blow to Trump's base.

[NightWatcher]

9. The WH is denying a story about the Prez....

I'm a tad stoned but that shit makes no sense... just like everything since November.

[bearsfootball516]

10. I don't get it either

The source in the story is the top energy official from the EU. I'm hoping the story is true, but I'm also preparing myself for the possibility that he might not be correct on it.

Notice that no other news organization has picked this up (yet). WSJ may have jumped the gun on this.

[NightWatcher]

13. This is the weirdest acid trip I've ever been on

[rzemanfl]

37. Even without the hurricane. n/t

[nolabear]

46. Ain't that the truth.

My GOD. Down is up, up is sideways, and a TV clown is pretending to be king. And they're letting him!

[exboyfil]

25. The EU official better have it in writing

Otherwise why announce it? You can't trust Trump and his people. Also make him announce it.

[Voltaire2]

4. Twitler is acting weird for Twitler.

And that is not easy to do.

[janterry]

5. what an opportunist

Maybe this will work in our favor? (Certainly will help the environment).

Crazy!

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. What?

This is great news!

[roamer65]

7. Chuck Schumer got inside this moron's head.

He knows how to play him.

Good job, Chuck!!

[mcar]

44. And Nancy!

to our great leaders!

[smirkymonkey]

8. Yes!!

And more deplorable heads are going to explode today!

[pangaia]

11. As with most bullies, this one is also a coward.

In this case, fortunately for the planet.

[BigmanPigman]

12. Bill Maher was right...45 is not bi-partisan, he is BI POLAR!

[bdamomma]

38. Exactly

whatever he has he has a mental disorder for sure.

[GetRidOfThem]

14. This is what happens when the Chief of Staff...

...removes the Chief of Noise (Bannon) and starts filtering the news stories, memos, and people that Agent Orange gets to see.

To stop combustion, remove the fuel. or remove the air...

[PCIntern]

15. If this is true

Something somewhere is really effed up.

Too effing weird...

[True_Blue]

16. I Love it!!!

To Chuck & Nancy!

[oberliner]

17. This is not true

There has been no such announcement.

24. Emre Peker is already getting an earful on Twitter

The good thing about DU is we often are able to post the updated correct info before the WSJ can.

[Madam45for2923]

18. NEW: White House denies report that U.S. will stay in Paris climate agreement

Link to tweet

[wryter2000]

20. Shoot

It was a nice dream.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. Why would anybody believe the White House at this point ?

The statement came less than an hour after the Wall Street Journal reported that White House senior advisor Everett Eissenstat revealed the policy change in a Montreal meeting with environment officials from 30 countries.

The United States “stated that they will not renegotiate the Paris Accord, but they will try to review the terms on which they could be engaged under this agreement,” said the European Union's top climate official.

At this point I would take anybody's word over Trump

[bearsfootball516]

21. Yeah, I think someone at the WSJ got burned by a source

Nobody else is reporting it. Hope I'm wrong.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. I will take Everett Eissenstat's word over Trump

26. Eissenstat works for Trump

Either the report is lying, he went off the reservation, or Trump pulled the rug out from under him. Unless the first is true, then Eissenstat has to resign.

[JDC]

27. I'm glad to hear this, but what a paper tiger this guy is

[Golden Raisin]

28. Trump regularly backtracks/changes his mind. Yes on Monday,

no on Tuesday. Let's see if this is even a valid story and then, if it has legs.

[ToxMarz]

30. Nyet on Wednesday, Da on Thursday

[Golden Raisin]

32. Bingo! Prosit!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. It's a clown show. How does crap like this happen?

[LuckyLib]

34. Anything to keep the pot stirred. Mueller said

to be digging deeper? Trumpie leaks then has everyone in the media spinning. Then issues contradictions from 4 other sources. Gawd, we are all so tired of this whack-a-doodle! His end of pResidency can't come soon enough!

[USALiberal]

29. Self delete or change title. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. I put the update in the title

Instead of lecturing members of our august community you should be lecturing the Trump administration about getting their ship in order.

[eleny]

33. They can always burn MAGA hats and release toxins into the atmosphere

Because that's how they roll.

[matt819]

35. Maybe they'll insist on one change

They'll demand it be called the Freedom Accord. Makes as much sense as freedom fries.

[Turbineguy]

39. Tune in tomorrow

for more zany antics on Presidential Apprentice!

[ananda]

40. But what does it mean?

Environmental protections? Gone.

Wildlife habitats -- sold to oil companies.

National Park land?


Get my drift?

[DesertRat]

41. k&r

[gademocrat7]

42. So are we in or out?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. Who Knows, hence all my edits.

[lindysalsagal]

47. Wonder if it's Kelly. If so, well done, general.

[True_Blue]

48. Damn!

I knew it was too good to be true. Maybe he'll change his mind ... again. His mental state seems to be rapidly detiorating.
