Europe must make clear to the United States that quitting the Paris climate agreement is not a straightforward process, and that fully leaving the deal will take years, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Wednesday.

“Europe’s duty is to say: it’s not like that,” Juncker told a student conference on the future of Europe organized by the German employers’ association BDA. “The Americans can’t just leave the climate protection agreement. Mr. Trump believes that because he doesn’t know the details.”

In reality, it would take several years for the U.S. to extricate itself from the obligations that flow from having signed the agreement, the head of the European Union’s executive arm added.

If Russian banks financed most of Trump's real-estate ventures

and Putin has power over Russian banks, how can the banks be used to hurt his wealth? It seems to me this is the most obvious and most well known Russian connection I just don't know enough about how it all works and what Russian banks can do to hurt Trump. I would assume Putin can create havoc but can someone explain to me the complexities when a bank owns most of your stuff? Can they legally (in Russia's case "legally" could mean something very different from here) just raise the crap out of your rates, find ways to take control of your assets? Pull the loan out from under you? Fill me in please.
