It set a framework by which future agreements could assign either tariffs or penalties to our government.

but even if the paris treaty was still in effect, and even if other countries were trying to add to it, we could have always stepped back from the table and paid nothing.

It really was a nothing agreement. 

Obama made too big of a deal out of it, as did his opponents, for opposite reasons.
