Donald Trump continued to distance himself from fellow world leaders over climate change at the G-7 summit, and said he’ll determine next week whether to pull the U.S. out of the landmark Paris climate accord.
“I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week,” the president told his almost 31 million Twitter followers on Saturday. While Trump was flying home on Air Force One, the political news website Axios reported that he’d told confidants he plans to pull the U.S. out of the deal.
