In an interview with conservative Fox News personality Sean Hannity, Pence said that the Agreement was "a bad deal from the moment it was signed by the [Obama] administration."

"This is an agreement that puts an enormous burden on American consumers [and] on the American economy while allowing countries like India and China to virtually get off scot-free for a decade or more," said Pence.
