      The EU has pledged to **work on clean energy and climate action with US local authorities and businesses** rather than focusing on the federal government, after President Donald Trump called climate change ‘the greatest con job ever’ and pushed American industry to drill for more fossil fuels.

      The US, the world’s second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, pulled out of the UN’s Paris climate agreement for the second time this year and has rapidly cut back funding for clean energy, instead promising billions of dollars in subsidies to the oil and gas sector.

      a draft policy paper on climate diplomacy efforts seen by the Financial Times, the European Commission said it would ‘co-operate with the US in the clean energy transition and on clean technologies’, notably with ‘subnational entities, business and think-tanks’.

      Good luck, though our constitution puts all international agreements as a power of the federal government. President signs the deals, and the Senate ratifies them. Anything else has zero legal authority.

      That’s very based and a propper response to the insanity we’ve been seeing across the pond.

      Well, if the Americans are going to target EU states on trade agreements which is clearly a competence of Brussels, then we should bypass Washington in return. This is completely fair and exactly what we should be doing.

      Why are Europeans always trying to ruin other countries?

      Why bother? The orange convict is still the one with the final say.

      Kinda degrading for the EU to treat directly with US states but go for it.
