Leslie is joined by Leo Gerard, International President of the United Steelworkers Union (USW).

The two discuss President Trump’s move to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement. The USW is critical of Trump’s action given the overwhelming evidence of the impacts of climate change and the near universal support for the agreement by labor, environmental, and business leaders. President Gerard explains why the move by Trump is bad for the U.S. economy and for the environment.
