President Emmanuel Macron withdrew the planned increase last week in a failed bid to appease sometimes violent protesters.
Trump has tweeted twice on the issue, saying in one tweet this weekend that “the Paris agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris.” It was a reference to the 2015 Paris climate accord, which the U.S. is leaving and which Macron has championed worldwide.
Le Drian said on LCI TV on Sunday: “We don’t take part in American debates. Let us live our own national life.”
He says Macron has told Trump the same thing.
If the French could lecture Israel then the US could lecture France
Who cares what the froggies say
with all those fires in France, maybe that is adding to poor climate control and global warming woes??
Sound advice. Trump and his buddies have the right to remain silent. They should practice exercising that right. They’ll need it soon.
