Various US media, quoting senior officials, say the White House will make the announcement, once details of the withdrawal process have been worked out.
Trump tweeted that he will announce his decision over the next few days.
I will be announcing my decision on the Paris Accord over the next few days. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
