Trump begins to pull US out of Paris Climate Change agreement

A little further from home, US President Donald Trump has begun the process to formally withdraw the US from the Paris climate change accord, Bloomberg reports.

Speaking of The Donald: He’s on a 17-day vacation (longer than Barack Obama took in his first year, CNN notes). The US president’s break began as the UN passed sanctions on North Korea advanced by his administration. The measures will cost Pyongyang about USD 1 bn in foreign revenues annually, the Wall Street Journal reports.
