Climate accord
President Donald Trump said he would announce whether to keep the United States in a global pact to fight climate change today. A source close to the matter said he was preparing to pull out of the Paris accord. Ahead of Trump’s announcement, China said it would stick to the climate deal. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said it will take the U.S. years to actually exit the deal. "The Americans can't just leave the climate protection agreement. Mr. Trump believes that because he doesn't know the details."
U.N. rules for the 2015 pact say Washington would formally have to wait until November 2020 to withdraw. Trump could shorten the formalities to just one year by exiting Paris' 1992 parent treaty. Quitting the Paris Agreement would leave Trump in a legal grey zone until the next U.S. presidential election in 2020, retaining a vote as other nations work on detailed rules on issues such as how to monitor greenhouse gas emissions.
Trade
The U.S. Commerce Department announced 13 new transactions with Vietnam worth $8 billion, including $3 billion worth of U.S.-produced content that would support more than 23,000 American jobs.

" The website (whoistheking.be) now just features the company logo with the word "king" removed, adding "There is no place for two kings in Belgium."
