United States

Climate change meeting delayed

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 president Barack Obama's administration. This is the second time a meeting of top aides on the issue has been delayed. The Paris accord, signed by nearly 200 nations in 2015, was never ratified by the Senate due to the staunch oppositions of Republicans.
