Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has signaled he's ready to withdraw or dramatically alter the landmark Paris climate agreement ahead of an expected announcement this week, though he is still weighing a final decision amid new pressure from foreign governments, business leaders and members of his own party to remain committed to the carbon reduction pact.
In conversations with European leaders, western diplomats and aides during his first international trip, Trump indicated he was poised to honor his campaign commitments to either withdraw from the agreement altogether or make significant changes to the US carbon reduction goals that underpin its participation in the accord.
The White House declined to say when Trump planned to make his intentions known, but officials familiar with the decision say an announcement could come as early as Wednesday.

LS could be correct that Trump maybe looking to get his media response ducks in a row to defend against the likely wall-to-wall shrieking from the liberal media.
He is letting them twist/ He may just cut it off but I suspect he will agree to maintain some shell of an agreement that does not hamper our own economy in exchange for some significant advantages in other areas.
A Trolling we will go! A trolling we will go! Hi Ho A dairy-oh, a trolling we will go! Still not tired of winning! ;-)
But, what do the leakers say??
The president met with EPA chief Scott Pruitt today. Pruitt probably reinforced his decision to pull out. When the announcement is made, it will pointedly be noted that the US Senate never ratified any treaty anyway.
24/7 FOR WEEKS.
You’d best make it final President Trump.
I recall Bush forgot to dance with the one that brought him to the party....
The promises you CAN keep, you should keep.
If Trump folds on this, I’m out of politics and becoming an observer only. I will NOT support someone who can’t keep an easy promise.
I understand Trump can’t rid us of Obamacare without congress, but he does not need congress for this.
If you don’t bow out Trump, then get your support from the French.
Also think of all the environmental damage done, like say, in the 1800s. The horse and buggies, no landfills or modern waste disposals. People washing their clothes in the creeks or rivers. Even cars today are more fuel-efficient than they were in the 1970s.
How much greenhouse gas does mass transit wastes, when at times only a handful of people are riding a bus at any given time?
“Who cares what the media thinks”.
That’s right. It would be like Churchill caring if he had Hitler’s approval on anything.
The Paris climate deal is dead.
Get ready for it to turn .00000000000000000001 degrees warmer.
He should wait at least a week to keep the attention on Kathy Griffin - the fake media will pivot to this announcement to take the heat off of her...
My wife’ cousin knows a girl who used to date a guy who works in the White House kitchen, and she says...
Trump could also distract the moron media with the announcement of the new FBI Director.
Imagine if he withdrew from the Paris accords and on the same day announced the recall and closure of one or two American military units in Germany. Now that would be great but doubt any of it will actually happen.
+1 Same thought here. LOL
MAGA
You wish, CNN. The President was on record denying the bs religion of Climate Change, long before he was ever elected.
He's going to pull the U.S. out of that suicidal accord, just like he pulled us out of the TPP. And oh, won't your diapers overflow when he does!
He should offer a compromise. Pull out of the deal but as a concession, give them Al Gore’s private jet and put him on a diet.
Great strategic response. I hope it's one that he uses.
