Sen. Cramer Statement on Rejoining the Paris Climate Accord

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on President Joe Biden signing an Executive Order for the United States to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord today:

“I have always thought rejoining the Accord could be a success and a unifying moment if the President and his team do it the right way. Abandoning our leadership on the world stage only benefits our competitors, though being on the world stage and just caving to them is even worse.

“If President Biden reworks our pledge then defends American interests, protects taxpayer dollars, and focuses on bipartisan areas of agreement like nuclear energy or carbon capture utilization and storage, it will prove to be a prudent move that can garner the support of the American people.”
