Abstract
President Donald Trump's decision to remove the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement is yet another manifestation – alongside the budget submitted to Congress and the president's speech at NATO headquarters in Brussels – of how he continues to see U.S. interests as narrowly economic, and U.S. influence as exerted solely through hard power.
