Nope i specifically said something that was gained. Hell I even mentioned the climate accord in my OP as an example of what not to acknowledge.Debating the merits is besides the point. The criteria of my question is something removed but gained.What is a significant achievement by Trump on a foreign policy level? By achievement, I mean something gained. Something that was born out of a positive action and not a negative. For instance, pulling out of the climate accord, pulling out of WHO, etc are actions that result in a negative. Such actions are something any moron can do.
Only a moron or a very uninformed person wouldn't understand how pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord was beneficial to the US, We were being penalized because other countries' environmental targets were far below what they should be doing relative to ours.
There was enforcement mechanism behind the Paris agreement, which meant there was no accountability. Nations acting in good faith, like the US, would make the sacrifices and take the economic hit for doing so, while those not acting in good faith could cheat without any consequences. Think "China."
Then there were the economic impacts of the Paris Climate Accord: The agreement would have been devastating to the American economy. Meeting the requirements outlined for the U.S. in the deal would have cost our economy nearly $3 trillion over the next several decades. It would have resulted in the loss of over 6 million industrial sector jobs, including 3.1 million manufacturing jobs. The coal industry would have also been hit harder than it was.
The deal was also very costly for American taxpayers. Obama committed $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund, which is nothing more than a fucking slush fund. He committed this funding without consulting with Congress.
Then there was ISIS. Where did they go mall of a sudden? Did they just get tired of fighting, and all go home to tend their goats?
I could stay in this thread all night and post Trump's foreign policy successes, but why bother? Your head is so full of fuck that none of it would make any sense to you.
You asked for "a significant achievement by Trump on a foreign policy level" and I gave it to you.
Take it or leave.
