American President Donald Trump decided to withdraw America from the Paris Combating Climate Change accord, according to the news platform Axios, quoting two unidentified sources.

Axios wrote about this small team who is working on the retirement process, including the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Scott Pruitt.

Team members will decide whether the U.S. will initiate a full and formal withdrawal from the arrangement – a process that may take three years – or they will withdraw from UN’s next treaty on climate change, a quicker but more precise strategy, experts claim.

Reuters recalls that at the last G7 summit in Sicily, president Trump refused to show his support for the Paris treaty, saying he needed more time in order to take a final decision.

Days after the summit, Donald Trump wrote on Twitter that he will announce his decision later this week

The G7 climate talks unfolded on Friday and Saturday in Taormina, Italy and they ‘were not satisfactory at all’, revealed German Chancellor Angela Merkel for AFP.

‘We have a six-to-one situation, which means there is still no sign of the US decision: whether or not they will remain a part of the Paris Agreement’, added Angela Merkel.

The Paris agreement was sealed in November 2015 and its main purpose is to limit the global temperature below the 2 ° C threshold in comparison to the pre-industrial levels.
