Another avenue would be emissions / environmental impact limits on various categories of goods. This would incentivize US business to go around the Trump administration's back and do the right thing anyways, just so they can continue to have access to these markets.
In any event, any effective global approach to these issues will need to have some legal and/or economic force, so the US is really just shooting itself in the foot by bucking the trend. Maybe we'll have a couple hundred more coal jobs nationwide to show for it, though :s
