“We have worked together for the universal ideals of liberty, tolerance, and equal rights”.
“We signed it at the initiative of the United States“, he said, “we should not abandon it without having something more substantial instead”.
Belin thinks that Macron didn’t want to single out Trump on that point, but did want to say that “the winds are blowing in that direction for everybody” and that both countries should “try to counter this general global evolution”.
“With unchecked greenhouse gas emissions, plunging biodiversity and increasing ocean pollution, “we are killing our planet”.
After showing a video of Macron railing against “nationalism” and “isolationism” – which Colbert equated to an insult to Trump’s America first policy – Colbert said, “Oooh!”
Mr Macron said such policies were a threat to global prosperity.
“We’ve nearly completed the task (of defeating ISIS) and will be making a decision very quickly in coordination with others in the area, as to what we will do”, Trump said at the time. “We should follow them”.

Macron stops to take a selfie with Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee, after addressing the US Congress. “Let us not create new wars on the other side”.
“We have disagreements between the United States and France“. That’s it? A bunch of heap shots at the president of the United States for a few laughs from the usual audience? “That is why we can not say we should get rid of it like that”, he said.

DONALD TRUMP hailed his “very special relationship” with Emmanuel Macron when they met at the White House yesterday.
“I always said there is the JCPOA but we needed to add three pillars post 2025“. While he was still “advocating” retention of the deal, he said, “I’m not a masochist”.
