"White House Leaning Toward Exiting Paris Climate Pact"

"White House officials are leaning towards taking the United States out of the Paris climate agreement, people familiar with the deliberations say.

While some in the Trump administration have warmed in recent days to the idea of staying in the non-binding pact while potentially changing the United States’ commitment, top officials are now leaning the other way, sources said Tuesday.

Trump could announce as soon as next week his plans to pull out. The Huffington Post and New York Times reported on the developments earlier Tuesday."
