President Trump announced plans to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement on climate change Thursday, a move that will weaken a key international measure aimed at fighting global warming and isolate the U.S. on an issue of importance to allies across the globe.

In a ceremony at the White House Rose Garden, Trump argued that dumping the deal as a win for his Administration's promise to create jobs and a rare success following through on a campaign promise.
