I will be announcing my decision on the Paris Accord over the next few days. In exiting the deal, Trump would have the support of the 22 Republican senators who last week wrote him a letter urging him to do so. Under the terms of the deal, the U.S. cannot officially withdraw until November 2019. Without the Clean Power Plan, the U.S. wouldn’t even come close to meeting its goals laid out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. But the Trump administration is still required to regulate carbon dioxide emissions as a public health threat under a 2007 Supreme Court ruling.
