WASHINGTON — The United States "could conceivably go back in" to the Paris climate agreement   President Trump  said Wednesday — but it would have to be under terms that don't punish the country for its wealth of fossil fuels.
"Frankly  it's an agreement that I have no problem with  but I had a problem with the agreement that they signed  because  as usual  they made a bad deal "  Trump  said.
 His  comments came during a joint press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House. Norway  rich in Arctic oil and gas reserves  was the first developed nation to ratify the global agreement to reduce carbon emissions. The United States also joined the non-binding agreement under President Barack Obama  but  Trump  said last year  he  was withdrawing.
 Trump  said the issue came up in  his  private talks with Solberg  but "it wasn't a major topic."
During the press conference  Solberg impressed upon  Trump  the business opportunities in renewable energy. "We have strict regulations to meet our Paris targets  which means we have very strong policies for environment-friendly and climate-friendly technologies " she said.
 Trump  spoke glowingly of Norway's renewable energy. "Norway has tremendous hydro power. Tremendous "  he  said. "I wish we'd do some of that  but hydro power is fantastic  and it's a great asset that you have."
But earlier  while speaking about U.S. energy dominance over Russia   he  also derided  his  former rival  Hillary Clinton  for her energy policies.
"I am for massive oil and gas and everything else  and a lot of energy "  he  said. "Hillary  my opponent  was for windmills  and she was for other types of energy that don't have the same capacities at this moment certainly."
