Reports are suggesting Trump has told multiple sources that he plans to leave the landmark agreement, although the man himself says he will make a decision on America’s future involvement later this week. During the election campaign Trump made it clear that he favored withdrawal, while he has also labeled man-made climate change a hoax.
