It Was Never about the Climate! French President Is Now Refusing to Renegotiate the Terms of the Paris Accord

French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a take-down of President Trump's new climate policy, calling his decision a 'mistake' that threatens the world – not long after a phone call where Trump told him about America's 'strong record' on the environment.



'Wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility. Make our planet great again. Thank you,' Macron said at the end of videotaped remarks released as counter-programming immediately following the president's Rose Garden speech announcing the U.S. would pull out of the Paris climate accord.


Speaking directly to the camera in English, in remarks released following Trump's, the newest leader on the European stage described the threat of climate change – something the president didn't address in his remarks.


Macron said, 'If we do nothing, our children will know a world of migrations, of wars, of shortage. A dangerous world. It is not a future we want for ourselves. It is not a future we want for our children. It is not a future we want for our world.'
