The Trump administration on Friday told the United Nations it plans to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement as soon as it can, unless it can renegotiate better terms. In a three-paragraph letter to the UN Secretary-General, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley wrote: "Unless the United States identifies suitable terms for reengagement," it will send "formal written notification of its withdrawal as soon as it is eligible to do so." The US will have to formally alert the UN of its plans to withdraw in 2019. However, the earliest it can leave the agreement is November 2020, the day after the next presidential election.
