Trump passes Macron after the suspension of the fuel tax | World

The measure, which aimed to prevent further protests from "yellow jackets", was badessed by Trump as a demonstration of the fact that the Paris climate agreement is "wrong".

"I am happy that my friend Emmanuel Macron and the Parisian protesters have reached an agreement on something that I already knew two years ago: the Paris agreement is a fatal mistake because it raises the energy prices for responsible countries "says Trump on Twitter

Trump manifested months after he came to power intent to withdraw the United States from the Paris agreement and, after that announcement, Macron accused the US president of "making mistakes with his country" and of "to defeat the future of the planet".

The American leader, who regularly welcomes the use of "magnificent clean carbon", repeatedly denounced this multilateral agreement reached in late 2015 in the French capital and defended by his predecessor, the Democrat Barack Obama, in order to limit the overall high temperature.

"I want clean air and pure water, and I have made important strides to improve the environment in the United States," said Trump, who regularly questions the scientific consensus on climate change or the role of human activities in the worsening of the phenomenon.

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced Tuesday that he had suspended several tax measures to try to escape the crisis caused by the "yellow vest" demonstrations that resulted in violent clashes in Paris. Saturday, 130 people were injured and 400 arrested after clashes between protesters and police on Avenue des Champs-Elysees.
