US President Donald Trump suggested today that he could change his position on the Paris climate accord, in remarks after talks with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
"Something could happen with respect to the Paris accord," he said at a joint news conference with Macron, six weeks after announcing that the United States would abandon the 2015 pact, adding: "We'll see what happens."
Macron said he "respected" Trump's decision but France remained committed to the accord.
