"Roberton Williams, professor of economics at the University of Maryland and director of academic programs for Resources for the Future, a nonpartisan group that studied the Paris deal, told Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson before the announcement that pulling out of the agreement could hurt U.S. standing around the world. 'If we're not willing to cooperate with other countries on this, maybe next time we want them to cooperate with us, they won't be willing to do so,' he said. 'That could have very serious costs for the U.S. economy.'"
