President Trump’s chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn, emphasized to foreign climate and energy officials on Monday that the U.S. still intends to withdraw from the Paris climate accord.

French President Emmanuel Macron said before a meeting with Trump on Monday that the two leaders would talk about the accord.
