COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - President Bush said in a Danish TV interview aired Thursday that adhering to the Kyoto treaty on climate change would have ``wrecked'' the U.S. economy, and he called U.S. dependence on Gulf oil a ``national security problem.''

``I couldn't in good faith have signed Kyoto,'' Bush told the Danish Broadcasting Corp., noting that the treaty did not include other nations - including India and China - that he called ``big polluters.''
