After President Donald Trump visited last week, French President Emmanuel Macron told a local weekly newspaper he was hopeful the U.S. would return to the Paris climate accord, an agreement between 200 countries that commit to decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.

“Trump told me that he would try to find a solution in the coming months,” the French president told Le Journal du Dimanche Sunday, according to Reuters. “We spoke in detail about the things that could make him come back to the Paris accord.”

The President withdrew the U.S. from the climate agreement in June, but has said he would be open to returning if a better deal could be reached for the U.S. and has criticized how soft the agreement is on countries like China and India.

    Macron hosting Trump for this “Yes, you are special” European visit was a sad waste of time and resources. Nothing will come of any of this.

    And Mr. 2 Scoops got to recharge his narcissistic batteries.

  2. Macron, was that before or after he promised not to ejaculate in your mouth?

  3. i.e. he wilted in front of Macron, especially due to the PTSD of the Frenchman crushing his hand

  4. It is obvious that world leaders are howling in derision behind Trump’s back…who could respect such a pea brained pretender?He can never be relied upon to do the right thing…and if by chance he stumbles into doing the right thing, we can be sure there will be a self serving element to the process.
