The France 2 interview was recorded five days ago, during a global climate summit Macron hosted two years after the signing of the landmark Paris climate agreement. The French president called that a "real error." Macron called the summit under the banner of "Make our planet great again," mimicking Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan. His opponent in the presidential runoff, far-right leader Marine Le Pen, awakened a "profound fear" among French voters, Macron said. In the France 2 interview, he said the worst thing is "when people don't like you without a good reason."
