According to the official procedure for withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, the US will be able to leave it only in 2020. This is reported by the agency ABC News, referring to Article 28 of this document.

Only three years after the country announced its desire to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, it can leave the membership. After that it is necessary to wait another year for the official notification of the recall to take effect. Therefore, the US will officially be a party to the deal, at least until the end of 2020, shortly after the next presidential election, the report said..

Nevertheless, during this period, the White House can ignore the US commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, since the obligations are not legally binding, according to 112 Ukraine.
