"The Trump White House Is At War With Itself About Climate Change" [1]

"Key officials will meet at the White House on Thursday to discuss whether President Trump should make good on his campaign promise to “cancel” the Paris climate agreement, or allow the United States to remain a party to the global pact — confronting head-on an issue that has divided the administration and raised concern in the international community.

The meeting will bring together officials with sharply opposing views about the administration’s position on the historic agreement, signed by nearly 200 countries, which Trump as a candidate promised to cancel.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and senior adviser Jared Kushner, who may also participate, support remaining in the agreement."

Chris Mooney and Juliet Eilperin report for the Washington Post April 26, 2017. [2]
