Leaders of the Group of 20 (G-20) nations on Saturday signed off on a final statement pledging to fix the world trading system, with all but President Trump also expressing support for the Paris climate agreement.

The statement finalized after the two-day summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina, calls for reforming the World Trade Organization but does not mention protectionism because the U.S. resisted those discussions, according to The Associated Press.

“reforming the World Trade Organization “

Big deal, if anything comes of it!
China has all the advantages of a ‘developing’ economy under present WTO rules. That doesn’t work.

So President Trump is the only leader within the G20 that has a brain and uses it. Doesn't surprise me in the least.

I appreciate that President Trump isn't coerced by 19 other countries to sign off on something as dumb as climate.

We are a Nation unto ourselves.

Why have the French [among other lame CO2 creating criminals] been denying a reduction in CO2 emissions?

Did you know that President Trump left the stage in the middle of a photo - op, leaving the Argentinian president standing there alone and red-faced?
Our President looked to leave the stage in a hurry and with a very concerned look on his face, giving a brief wave with his hand.

Was just informed of the death of the Commander of the Navy’s Fifth Fleet?

Informed we now have a a potentially devastating outbreak of (fill in the blank) BOTH sides of the Border?

Iran test - launching an ICBM capable of carrying multiple warheads?

Israel is fixing to rain fire on Hezbollah?

“”The statement finalized after the two-day summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina,””

That’s it? Two days and done? Hardly worth the effort or expense.

best line:

The agreement is nonbinding.

GREAT NEWS:

2 Dec: NDTV: AFP: At G20 Meet, Trump Reiterates Decision To Withdraw From Paris Climate Agreement
A final communique adopted at the G20 Summit said the “United States reiterates its decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement”.
A final communique adopted after all-night haggling in the summit in Argentina said all other G20 members agreed to implement the “irreversible” Paris Agreement on climate change, while respecting different paces of economic development.

But it said the “United States reiterates its decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement,” mirroring the divergence seen last year when Trump shocked the global community by bucking the consensus at his first G20...

One of the reasons the French are rioting is that Macron imposed a “green” tax on fuel. Of course, the idiots all knew he was going to do this green stuff when they voted for him, but they never realized that they were going to have to pay for it.

It’s hard to feel sorry for them, except of course, that these economically devastating “climate control” policies affect even those who didn’t vote for Macron or any of the other fools in charge.

Sustainable Development IS the “U.N. Plan for the 21st Century”.

They intend to control every aspect of human activity.

Trump is the only thing standing in their way.

Yeah, the logical resolution of govt. directed decreased CO2 production leads to offing the leftists, to save the Erf.

Is that a bad thing?

Sorry - I had no idea what you were referring to - I thought it was USMC - something or other. I felt bad if the Marines were being neglected but I see that’s not the case...

Don’t ever want to neglect a Marine and I mean that sincerely!
