"President-elect Donald J. Trump said on Tuesday that he would 'keep an open mind' about whether to pull the United States out of a landmark multinational agreement on climate change.

During his presidential campaign, Mr. Trump repeatedly said he would withdraw from the Paris climate accord. But on Tuesday, he said, 'I’m looking at it very closely. I have an open mind to it.'

Mr. Trump’s comments came at an on-the-record lunch with the publisher, editors and reporters of The New York Times, a meeting that was scheduled, canceled, and then reinstated by Mr. Trump after a dispute with The Times over the ground rules."
