Assignment: Planning Negotiations
You become the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and the President of the United States advises you that he doesn't want the U.S. to sign a new environmental bill.

3. Examine at least three (3) common stances of opposing U.N. members in which you would need to provide a rebuttal based on your research. Justify your response.
