President Donald Trump will order the U.S. to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, the White House said on Monday, once again placing the world's top historic emitter of greenhouse gas emissions outside of the global pact aimed at pushing nations to tackle climate change through domestic actions.

Donald Trump took to the rally-like atmosphere of Capital One Arena to sign a series of executive orders, including one that withdraws from the Paris Climate Accords and others that freeze much of non-military federal hiring and new regulations.
