French FM Jean-Yves Le Drian’s reaction: “I tell Donald Trump and the President of the Republic also told him: we don’t take part in American debates, let us live our life as a nation” #giletsjaunes #yellowvests.
Very sad day & night in Paris. Maybe it’s time to end the ridiculous and extremely expensive Paris Agreement and return money back to the people in the form of lower taxes? The U.S. was way ahead of the curve on that and the only major country where emissions went down last year!.
