Trump argued in his remarks before CPAC that it was best to renew the coal industry and approve oil pipelines so that the United States could remain competitive.

Trump described the Paris Climate Accord on climate change as "job-killing" and "totally disastrous," claiming that it made the United States "uncompetitive with other countries."

"China, their agreement didn't kick in until 2030. Our agreement kicks in immediately. Russia, they're allowed to go back into the 1990s, which was not a clean environment time," Trump said.
