DAVENPORT:

Yes, it's really interesting the debate that is happening within the White House over what to do on the Paris Accords — first, because for President Trump, that was a signature campaign promise. He said — his exact words were that he would cancel the Paris Climate Change Accord. That's technically not possible to do. You can't rip up a multilateral accord that's been legally ratified and signed by over 190 countries.

But the U.S. could withdraw, could legally withdraw, and that would be a huge blow to the accord. What's happening right now, though, a lot of President Trump's sort of core base supporters and advisers have urged him to go ahead and act on that, to announce he's going to withdraw.

He's got another set of advisers who are saying, "Look, the diplomatic fallout globally from withdrawing the United States, the world's largest economy, the world's historic largest climate emitter, had been a central broker of the Paris Accord, it would send a message to the rest of the world that the U.S. doesn't keep its word, and that could come up again and again and again."

And so, there is a push from leading advisers like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, leading foreign policy adviser, and we're also hearing that this could be coming from the president's daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared, who are very influential within the White House, to saying, "Look, maybe we can negotiate a middle ground where we stay in the accord but — the accord but just don't do everything Obama said we were going to do."
