What happened
Two weeks passed with no decision. At the G7 in Taormina on May 26-27 Trump refused to endorse the accord and tweeted that he would announce his decision 'next week.' He announced withdrawal on June 1, 2017, roughly a month after the two-week pledge. Formal withdrawal notice did not come until November 4, 2019 and took effect November 4, 2020.
