“We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement,” said Trump, who promised to eliminate regulations he says are killing the fossil fuel industry.
Trump also vowed to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline and to rescind Obama’s executive orders meant to cut U.S. emissions.

“Any regulation that’s outdated, unnecessary, bad for workers or contrary to the national interest will be scrapped and scrapped completely,” Trump told the crowd of more than 7,000 at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismarck, North Dakota.
It will be an “America-first energy plan,” said Trump.
“If President Obama wanted to weaken America, he couldn’t have done a better job.”
When considering any federal regulations, Trump said his litmus test would be simple.
“Is this regulation good for the American worker?” Trump said.
Trump’s comments painted a stark contrast between his views and those of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, both of whom advocate a sharp turn away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy technologies to combat climate change.
Trump repeated several times Clinton’s March comments that her policies would put coal miners out of work.
“Hillary Clinton’s agenda is job destruction,” Trump said.
