United States President Donald Trump has announced withdrawal from the Paris climate deal. 

He, however, said that the US will begin fresh negotiations to enter either the Paris deal or a totally new climate deal.

Announcing the withdrawal, he said the deal caused major job loss to the US while making other countries gain a financial advantage over the US.

He said the deal put the US to a 'very, very severe' economic disadvantage.

He called the deal a 'self-inflicted major economic wound' on the US.
