Trump to announce decision on Paris Accord on Thursday amid exit reports

President Donald Trump has said that he will announce his decision whether the United States would pull out of the Paris Accord on climate change on 1 June.

He said he will make the announcement by 3 p.m. (12:30 a.m. IST).

"I will be announcing my decision on Paris Accord on 1 June at 3:00 P.M. The White House Rose Garden. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!," Trump tweeted.

Trump delayed his final decision on the Paris Accord in the G 7 Summit held in Italy, as he wanted more time to decide whether the United States should pull out of the 195-nation agreement.
However, Trump would, reportedly, withdraw from the climate agreement, CNN quoted two U.S. senior officials familiar with the plan.
