4:35Now PlayingAt the United Nations, President Trump’s chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn, said Monday the U.S. would withdraw from the landmark 2015 Paris climate accord as planned. His comments came as U.N. SecretaryGeneral António Guterres said climate should be a top priority at this year’s General Assembly.
