President Donald Trump will not withdraw from or renegotiate the Paris Agreement, the Wall Street Journal reports, but will instead “review the terms on which they could be engaged under this agreement.” Citing European Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Cañete, the Journal reports that White House senior adviser Everett Eissenstat unveiled the new plan regarding the landmark international accords meant to address greenhouse gas emissions during meeting of more than 30 ministers led by Canada, China, and the European Union. When contacted by The Daily Beast, the White House denied the article. “Not true. Will send response in a sec,” wrote White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Sanders later tweeted an additional statement:
Our position on the Paris agreement has not changed. @POTUS has been clear, US withdrawing unless we get pro-America terms.
