EU reaffirms climate agreement agreements

EU leaders strongly agree to implement the arrangements in the Paris climate agreement quickly and completely.

The agreement remains 'the cornerstone' of the global commitment to tackling global warming and can not be renegotiated, according to the statement. This refers to the agreement reached in Paris by the American withdrawal from the end of 2015.

President Trump announced on June 1 that he wanted to negotiate a 'fairer deal for the US and his workers'.
