French President Emmanuel Macron offered Americans a "second homeland" in France to help "make our planet great again," a clear jab against President Trump after he announced that his administration will reject the Paris climate agreement.
In a short video posted online Thursday, Macron said that while he respects Trump's decision, it was a "mistake" for the U.S. to exit the international accord.
"Tonight, I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation," Macron said.
He called on certain types, like scientists and "responsible citizens" who were disappointed by Trump's announcement, to come to France.
"I call on them. Come and work here with us. To work together on concrete solutions for our kind, our environment. I can assure you France will not give up the fight," Macron said.
Macron assured those who are skeptical of the Paris Agreement's future that the accord "remains irreversible and will be implemented" by those nations still committed to it.
"Make our planet great again," he concluded, a reference to Trump's campaign motto: "Make America great again."
The White House put out a statement Thursday evening to say Trump spoke not only with Macron, but other world leaders to explain his decision to withdraw from the climate agreement.
"He thanked all four leaders for holding frank, substantive discussions on this issue during his first months in office," the statement read. The White House said Trump "reassured the leaders that America remains committed to the Transatlantic alliance and to robust efforts to protect the environment" and "noted America's strong record in reducing emissions and leading the development of clean energy technology."
Trump "reiterated that the United States under the Trump Administration, will be the cleanest and most environmentally friendly country on Earth," the statement added. "The leaders all agreed to continue dialogue and strengthen cooperation on environmental and other issues going forward."
Wow - the leftists are in full froth this morning.
Lot’s of flack - bombs away Mr. President - you are directly over the target...
This guy is one sick left wing puppy.
We are going to be hearing a lot of outrageous nonsense from this jerk.
Have you got that much room given your newly established, and ever burgeoning, muslim population?
On the other hand, taking our whiners and democRATS, I repeat myself, might, no, would be a great thing!
The rich ones won’t go because of French taxes.
I think we could collect the one way airfare for about 10 million recent college grads if he needs the brain power.
Yes! Someone start a go fund me to facilitate the flights. They will not need visas. Start a website! France is the birthplace of democracy and better than the USA. Flee into the utopia of the European Union.
Where do we line up to contribute to those who wish to join the cheese-eating surrender monkeys?
Macron’s proposal and Hillary not wanting to fly with Michelle makes two times I’ve agreed with Leftists in one day. . .is there something wrong with me? Should I start to worry?
Can we help organize a sealift?
I suggest they disembark at Calais
I’m feeling a little surreal since I agree with this vapid little empty suit of a globalist marionette.
Hear, hear!
“Macron’s proposal and Hillary not wanting to fly with Michelle makes two times I’ve agreed with Leftists in one day. . .is there something wrong with me? Should I start to worry?”
Look it just happens. I agree with McCain about twice a year and it bothers me every time. Now I think he probably is correct that often.
I still don’t understand it though.
Would save time since they're all headed toward Calais anyway:
I’m starting to like this Macaroni guy. If anyone takes him up on his offer and goes to Paris, it will no doubt be libs. What a magnanimous gesture, to take all of our liberals off our hands.
Should they bring their own body bags or will you provide them?
Pssst! Europe doesn’t have AC.
This french faggot is so stale: he should not be luring Americans. Instead, if he were truly a man of the moment, he should be begging for #FakeAmericans.
