Nicaragua will reportedly join the Paris climate accord, leaving the U.S. and Syria as the only two nations left refusing to support the landmark deal to fight global warming.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega told state media that his government planned to sign the agreement “soon,” according to a report from the Managua-based television station 100% Noticias. A call seeking comment to the Nicaraguan embassy in Washington wasn’t immediately returned Wednesday.

Ortega had initially refused to join the 2015 accord brokered in the French capital, saying the deal didn’t require enough sacrifice from wealthy nations. President Donald Trump said in June that he would pull the U.S. from the accord because it imposed too many restrictions on U.S. companies.

1. I detest this maggot taking up space in our WH.

If he doesn't make a personal profit off of the "deal" it's not a good deal. He has no ability to comprehend when something is for the mutual good of all.

He acts like this is a business deal where a big fat check should be cut in his name, if for nothing else than for brokering the deal.

2. At least they know there is one more "sane" leader in the world.
