France’s newly elected president, Emmanuel Macron, promised to be a climate leader during his campaign. To fulfil that pledge, he must use his new status to persuade the United States to stay in the Paris Agreement, Andy Rowell writes for Oil Change International.
Donald Trump was quick to take to Twitter to congratulate the centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron on his resounding victory against the far-right, Marine Le Pen, in the French presidential race.
On Monday, Trump said: “Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his big win today as the next President of France. I look very much forward to working with him!”
As usual with Trump, the tweet is a U-turn from his previous position which was qualified support for the far-right Le Pen. There is no doubt that Trump wanted Le Pen to win.
