AdvisorShares-This Week in Active ETFs: We’ll Always Have Paris
June 5, 2017--Week Ending 6/2/2017
Macro
As you know by now the U.S. pulled out of the Paris Accord...sort of...three years from now. This is a complicated issue and while we will refrain from judgment, the argument put forth by the White House on Thursday for pulling out was economic; they said it was a bad deal for the U.S. in terms of placing a disproportionate share of the financial burden on the U.S.
The concerns expressed by foreign leaders include the perception that the U.S. has turned its back on the world community in this regard, that the U.S. is no longer a leader in these matters and that if the U.S. actually follows through with exiting the accord, it will be difficult to renegotiate back in, which is a door that the President tried to leave open.
