Admittedly he is correct in that the Paris accord penalises the US and other developed countries.
It will be interesting how he gets around article 28 though.
Quote:
1. At any time after three years from the date on which this Agreement has entered into force for a Party, that Party may withdraw from this Agreement by giving written notification to the Depositary.
2. Any such withdrawal shall take effect upon expiry of one year from the date of receipt by the Depositary of the notification of withdrawal, or on such later date as may be specified in the notification of withdrawal.

As the Paris Climate Accord was only signed last year by the US then it can only legally withdraw in 2020 at the earliest.
