The Agreement punishes nobody and not a single country.鈥� BMUB also writes that the Agreement did not prohibit constructing new coal-fired power plants or continued coal mining. Trump鈥檚 claim that 14 days鈥� worth of CO鈧� emissions by China would be enough to wipe out gains from US reductions expected for 2030 was 鈥渨ithout any foundation鈥�.
