Newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron hasn't shied away from his criticism of Donald Trump's position on climate change in recent weeks. On Friday, France's Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs shared an edited version of the American video on Twitter that sought to highlight inaccuracies. #MakeThePlanetGreatAgain.”The French video has been retweeted nearly 14,000 times and “liked” nearly 20,000 times. While the American video was called “The Paris accord is a bad deal for America,” the headline of the French version is: “Leaving the Paris accord is a bad deal for American — and the world.”The 40-second French video challenges the major points laid out in the American video, using similar slides and the same musical track. The speech was made at the Elysee Palace, the official residence of the French president.
