DT pulling out of another treaty....

[kadee79]

But it had never been ratified anyway...but it was sent thru during Obama...so DT has to destroy it.  He is sooo jealous!

President Trump announced Friday that he would un-sign the global arms pact known as the Arms Trade Treaty in the latest illustration of his aversion to international pacts and world governance.



“I’m officially announcing today that the United States will be revoking the effect of America’s signature from this badly misguided treaty,” Trump said during a speech before the National Rifle Association in Indianapolis. “We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedom.”



The origins of the treaty, which sets out international rules for sales and transfers of everything from small arms to large planes and ships, date to the George W. Bush administration. It was negotiated under the auspices of the United Nations and signed in 2013 under President Barack Obama but has never been ratified by U.S. lawmakers.



The treaty seeks to prevent illicit arms transfers that fuel destructive conflicts, making it harder to conduct weapon sales in violation of arms embargoes. About 100 countries, including U.S. allies in Europe, have ratified the treaty while more than 30 others have signed but not ratified. Countries that have shunned the treaty entirely include Russia, North Korea and Syria.

Chris Cox, the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, praised the decision in a statement, saying it “gave NRA members one more reason to enthusiastically support his presidency.”

He's jealous, petty, malicious and vindictive.

Treaties, agreements, accords....nothing matters any more. That's why the rest of the world no longer trusts the USA.

 Agreements are not worth the paper they're printed on.

[weltschmerz]

He even thumbs his nose at the US Constitution.
