The climate change deal would have given a virtual free pass India and China and cost American economy more than 6.5 million jobs, US Vice President Mike Pence said on Wednesday by making his remarks to the National Association of Manufacturers 2017 Manufacturing Summit. 

 "You know, one independent study found that the Paris accord would have actually cost the US economy more than 6.5 million manufacturing jobs in the next 25 years while giving countries like China and India virtually a free pass," Pence said

 He said by withdrawing America from " this terrible deal" president puts America first. "He left opening to renegotiating the deal or coming up with a different agreement. 

But he put America first, and I promise the manufacturers in this room that President Donald Trump always will," Pence said. He said Trump has put a renewed emphasis on America first. .
