US climate change meeting postponed

-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has postponed a Tuesday meeting to discuss whether the United States should withdraw from the landmark internatio­nal climate deal struck in Paris under the Obama administra­tion.

The White House said late Monday that the meeting would be reschedule­d. This is the second time a meeting of top aides on the issue has been delayed.

Donald Trump pledged during the presidenti­al campaign to renegotiat­e the accord, but he has wavered on the issue since winning the presidency. His top officials have appeared divided about what to do about the deal, under which the United States pledged to significan­tly reduce planet-warming carbon emissions in the coming decade.
