President Trump announced on Twitter he will delay a decision on whether the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris climate accords until next week, a move that led leaders of Group of Seven (G7) countries to declare the U.S. is “not in a position to join the consensus” around the agreement.
I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week!
Mr. Trump, who campaigned on backing out of the deal, is now “spending time on the Paris agreement” and “continuing” to engage with other world leaders, White House Economic Council Director Gary Cohn told reporters in a press conference Saturday.
“He is spending time on climate, he is spending time on the Paris agreement,” Cohn said.
