The US has asserted that it will leave the Paris Climate Accord, despite reports at the weekend that the Trump administration might be reconsidering its position. US officials had suggested the country might remain in the agreement, or review the terms of the accord, according to European Union Climate Commissioner Miguel Arias Canete. But on Sunday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said President Donald Trump's decision was not a reversal and would "continue with our efforts towards reducing emissions as part of this international agreement." Donald Trump announced in June that the US would withdraw from the 2015 agreement.
