Answer:The Kyoto treaty does not undermine the U.S.A's sovereignty

Step-by-step explanation:

The Kyoto treaty does not undermine the U.S.A's sovereignty because it has nothing to do with it, It was a treaty that asked committing state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions because global warming does exist and its caused by CO2 productions done by human activities.

A treaty is an agreement under international law entered into by actors in international law, namely sovereign states and international organizations. A treaty may also be known as an (international) agreement, protocol, covenant, convention, pact, or exchange of letters, among other terms. Regardless of terminology, all of these forms of agreements are, under international law, equally considered treaties and the rules are the same.

Treaties can be loosely compared to contracts: both are means of willing parties assuming obligations among themselves, and a party to either that fails to live up to their obligations can be held liable under international law.
