TAORMINA, Sicily — The U.S. will be the lone holdout on endorsing the Paris accord on climate change when leaders of the G7 will issue their 2017 declaration Saturday, officials said.
President Donald Trump had said he would give European leaders a chance to make their case for the climate change accord, but would not make a final decision until returning to Washington on whether his administration will remain committed to the 2015 agreement.
Trump tweeted Saturday morning: “I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week!”
