Have expressed regret you decided to leave it. What could persuade you to remain, and what Common Ground did you find in your talks today on this topic . Pres. Trump it wasnt a major topic. We talked about other things, including mostly trade. As drawn andeement as we signed was very unfair to the United States. It put economic penalties on us and made it very difficult for us in terms of business. It took away in one of our asset values. A want of our asset values. Alot of our wea are richsset valu businesses in order toes qualify by 2025. They dont kick in until 2030. Tandard inhe s russia in the 1990s, a dirty standard for the environment. It treated the United States very unfairly. I had no problem with the agreement they signed. In,ould conceivably go back but we are very strong in the environment. I feel very strongly about it. Commissioners are powerful in the sense that they want to have clean water, clean air, but we also want businesses that can compete. Paris accord would ha

You mention trafficking. Not only is there an issue of trafficking of women but because of the vulnerability of the refugees, children are much more susceptible. The parents go out doing things, they leave children behind for someone to take care of and we find more cases children being abused, which is heartbreaking.

In providing for the needs of these individuals and making sure that it doesnt, or at least minimally disrupts the good order in those countries and the daytoday life of the citizens. But to diminish or ignore the humanity of these individuals fleeing a desperate situation, fleeing terrible violence in their home country is something that, that im glad that only a small minority of people have done. George . In his debate with mitt romney, in 2012, the president said that Vice President biden had advised him against going after bin laden. The Vice President has now changed his story on that.

And underlined the fact that during this campaign, we saw this time and again, general flynn was leading the chance of lock her up during the campaign and now hes being accused not just by democrats on the House Oversight committee and up on capitol hill but by fellow republicans that he was not in compliance with the law. I suspect that will come up in the briefing.
