Paul told Breitbart News of the Paris deal:

I think it would be terrible for our country. We have the potential of losing 6 million jobs and it would cost $3 trillion. Really, I dont think President Obama had the right to do it. He did it by himself without the approval of Congress. One of the problems we have in government is we let one person have so much power that he could do something that could cost 6 million jobs and nobody gets to vote on itI think thats outrageous. It kind of looks like a treaty. If its a treaty, it should come to the Senate and be passed. But I think President Trump has the ability and he indicated during the campaign that he wanted to get rid of and get out of the Paris accord so we hope we will. We have introduced a resolution to send it to the president to encourage him to get out of the Paris accord.

President Trump promised the American people during the 2016 presidential campaign he would pull out of the Paris deal since it is a job-killer. Paul was not sure why Trump has not yet pulled out, since it would be very easy for him to do so to unleash the U.S. economy and protect jobs, but he said Senate Republicans stand ready to back up the President when he does pull out of the deal.

He has a few other things on his plate, maybe, Paul said when asked why Trump has not yet pulled out of the Paris deal. I dont have an answer to that. We want to encourage him and let him know we have his back and are going to point out how terrible it is for our jobs in America.

Pauls interview with Breitbart News on this front came as a group of 22 Senate Republicans including Paul and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wrote to President Trump this week urging him to pull the United States out of the job-crushing Paris climate deal. In the letter, they detail how the institutional leftTrumps sworn political enemiesare using the deal to gain power. Paul, in his interview with Breitbart News, adds that the deal helps benefit other countries like China at the expense of the United Statessomething Trump ardently campaigned against.

They say that basically we have caps to lower our emissions, but China doesnt have to live by any caps, so that doesnt seem very fair, Paul said. The caps are essentially you have to cut your industry. If you cut your industry, you cut jobs. Particularly in my state, Kentucky, the Obamas and Clintons have devastated our state already with the war on coal. We dont need to continue that war. What we really need is to get the government out of the way so we can get back to producing energy.

Paul also wrote an op-ed in Fox News about this topic.

Rand Paul officially seeks to force a vote on the Saudi arms deal - Rare.us

Senator Rand Paul is not a fan of big government or overreach he stands up against it when its a good idea and bad. Today, it would seem he is standing up for a good reason because he feels the United States should not agree to the biggest arms deal in history with an antagonist nation without the approval of the Senate.

In this end, Sen. Paul plans to demand a vote on the Senate floor today, hoping to stop the massive trade of money and arms.

According to Bloomberg reporter Kevin Cirilli, Paul will file a motion later today demanding a vote on the arms deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia made during President Trumps visit to the nation over the weekend.

The deal, if implemented, will trade U.S. arms for $110 billion, and up to $330 billion in the next decade. Though the U.S. has had a long history of trading arms with Saudi Arabia, this would represent the largest of such deals between any two nations in history.

This isnt the first time that Paul has attempted to use the checks and balances of the U.S. government in order to slow or halt a major arms deal. In 2016, Paul did the same thing, leading a bipartisan effort to block a similar deal at the tune of $1.15 billion. At the time, the effort failed and the arms deal went through.

Now, with a much bigger pricetag and a much more unlikable deal-maker, the vote may have a chance.

As Cirilli noted, this opposition to the new deal is not unexpected. Pauls office met with the White House before Trump embarked on his international visit in an attempt to dissuade the deal.

While many in the Republican party refuse to make such a stand against the Republican President, Pauls more independent base means that this defiance will bolster his support, not diminish it. Still, President Trumps newfound kinship with the royal family of Saudi Arabia may mean that the opposition by Paul will be seen as open hostility.

When it comes to such a massive arms deal and the implications of a closer, more amicable relationship between the U.S. and a regressive, human rights violating-nation, the opinions of elected officials are valuable. President Trumps decision in Saudi Arabia deserves to be challenged, and Paul may as well be the man for the job.
