President Donald Trump will decide whether to keep the U.S. in the 2015 Paris climate pact by late May "if not sooner," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, in hopes of settling the issue before the president heads to the May 26-27 Group of Seven summit in Italy. "We are currently reviewing issues related to the agreement and expect to have a decision by the time of the G-7 summit, late May-ish if not sooner," Spicer told reporters March 30. The comment came amid continued speculation over whether Trump intends to make good on his campaign vow to "cancel" U.S. participation in the Paris deal, the first truly global climate agreement, or keep the U.S. in the pact.
