Turkey pulls out of the Paris Accord once they figured out Trump wasn't going to let the American taxpayers give them billions. At least the guy is honest and admits to what most of us on this forum already knew. It's a redistribution of wealth and nothing more.
Erdogan said that when Turkey signed the accord France had promised that Turkey would be eligible for compensation for some of the financial costs of compliance.
"So we said if this would happen, the agreement would pass through parliament. But otherwise it won't pass," Erdogan told a news conference, adding that parliament had not yet approved it.
"Therefore, after this step taken by the United States, our position steers a course towards not passing this from the parliament," he said.
