An update to the thread title would be nice - maybe change it to "Trump could shortcut withdrawal from Paris Agreement by withdrawing from 1992 agreement".

The current thread title suggests that Trump has already completed the act (not true, both in time, and in terms of making a decision to follow the course of action).
