Trump Open to Staying in: Tillerson Says
Donald Trump is open to staying in the Paris accord on climate change, his secretary of state has said, just hours after the White House insisted there would be "no change" to US policy, BBC reports.
Rex Tillerson said the US would stay in the agreement "if we can construct a set of terms that we believe is fair".
His comments come despite the White House earlier denying reports it was softening its stance on the accord.
In June Mr Trump announced the US would withdraw from the pact.
The president said the move was part of his "solemn duty to protect America", painting the agreement as one which aimed to hobble the US economy in favour of countries like China and India.
Mr Trump also said he would "begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States".
