President Trump announced on
Friday that the U.S. will halt ratification of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, a remnant of the Obama era.
In
a dramatic moment during his speech at the NRA's Institute for
Legislative Action event, Trump announced his decision to sign an order
instructing the Senate to halt the ratification process begun under his
predecessor. President Obama submitted the treaty, which aims to
regulate the $70 billion international arms trade, to the Senate for
ratification in 2013, but it was never signed.
Trump's caught a lot of heat for that idiot bump-stock ban and his talk about 'red flag' laws, and rightly so. But whether this was done to help take said heat off, or was just planned on its own, it's a good thing.
