The statement said that as President Donald Trump has made abundantly clear, the United States is withdrawing unless it can re-enter on terms that are more favorable to the country. The statement came in response to published reports by the Wall Street Journal that EU climate official Miguel Arias Canete said the US would not re-negotiate the Paris Accord, but will try to review the terms on which they could be engaged under this agreement.

President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement was made in June and received objections inside and outside America.
