"Trump Is Pulling U.S. Out Of Paris Climate Deal" [1]

"President Trump has made his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the decision. Details on how the withdrawal will be executed are being worked out by a small team including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. They're deciding on whether to initiate a full, formal withdrawal — which could take 3 years — or exit the underlying United Nations climate change treaty, which would be faster but more extreme."

Jonathan Swan reports for Axios May 31, 2017. [2]
