The notification begins a one-year process of exiting the global climate change accord, culminating the day after the 2020 US election.
The US government says the deal puts an "unfair economic burden" on Americans.
The agreement brought together 188 nations to combat climate change.
France and Japan have led international condemnation of the US move.
