Axios<\/a> reported Wednesday [31 May 2017] morning that Donald Trump<\/a> is planning on exiting the Paris Agreement<\/a>, and is considering both exiting the deal<\/a> itself as well as pulling out of the larger UNFCCC treaty, according to two sources within the White House.<\/p>\n

UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres said Tuesday [30 May] countries must “get on board or get left behind” with the agreement. While he steered clear of naming Donald Trump specifically in his speech at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Guterres told an audience member in a Q&A session that exiting the deal could have economic, social and security implications for any countries that choose to pull out. Guterres told the crowd “the world is in a mess” to highlight the importance of the agreement and the threat climate change brings to the world.<\/p>\n
