Trump to pull out of Paris Climate Accord

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says the U.S. will pull out of the  Paris Climate agreement and says he will try to renegotiate the deal, CBS СÂÜÀòÓ°ÊÓ reports.

Trump previously called global warming a hoax.

Nearly 200 countries agreed in 2015 to slash carbon dioxide and other emissions.

For the U.S., the deal committed the nation to reductions by 2025.
