Tillerson predicts less emissions

The United States is continuing its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

'It was a political decision and it is important, I think, that everyone understands that the United States has a significant role in reducing our emissions,' said Tillerson. 'That happened without an agreement from Paris. I do not believe that we will do less in the future to reduce emissions. So I hope people can see it in perspective. '
