French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday night assured Americans that France still has their backs, even though President Trump decided to pull out of the Paris Agreement. "Tonight, I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you," Macron said. "I know that you are a great nation."
Macron assured all "scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, [and] responsible citizens" disappointed by Trump's decision to bail on the global climate pact — which Macron called "an actual mistake, both for the U.S. and for our planet" — that in France they could find "a second homeland." He urged them to come work with France on battling climate change, because France "will not give up the fight."
