Earlier too, Trump had tweeted regarding the Paris agreement. He tweeted: “The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France,” adding, “People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment. Chanting ‘We Want Trump!’ Love France.”
To the concern of French President Emmanuel Macron and few other western leaders, Trump has been abandoned and stated that the protest on going in France is not related to the Paris climate agreement, signed in the year 2015.
