Not A Joke: AP Reporting Ivanka Will "Review" US Climate Policy, Paris Treaty Participation

Gosh, good to know! The First Daughter, with her extensive scientific training, is on the job!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ivanka Trump will head a review of US climate change policy even as President Donald Trump considers pulling the US out of a global emissions-cutting deal. The United States says it it will continue attending United Nations climate change meetings next week in Bonn, Germany next week, but Trump’s advisers will meet Tuesday to discuss what to do about the global pact known as the Paris agreement, officials said.

The conflicting signals suggested the administration was trying to keep its options open while Trump decides whether to withdraw, a move the international community would strongly oppose.

Though Trump’s inclination has been to leave the agreement, he’s allowed his daughter, White House adviser Ivanka Trump, to set up an extensive review process, a senior administration official said. The goal is to ensure Trump receives information from both government experts and the private sector before a making a decision.

To that end, Ivanka Trump will hold a separate meeting Tuesday with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, the official said. Pruitt is a chief proponent of leaving the deal and has questioned the science that says humans are contributing to global warming.

New York City and Palm Beach will be under water. Donald will be long gone, but she needs to protect her inheritance.

....Ivanka feminine underwear and Ivanka sleepwear and Ivanka negligees in Paris, France. Ivanka can't wait to open a satellite Ivanka's fancy clothing, shoes and jewelry boutique in downtown Paris.

Enhancing the Trump family brand is primary - beneficial USA governmental policy and international diplomatic relations are secondary.

Ca-ching ~ ca-ching .... another day ..... another dollar.... how much money did the trump family swindle today ?
