PARIS (REUTERS) - US President Donald Trump has taken another swipe on Twitter at his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron prompted by Mr Macron's woes over violent protests against fuel taxes.
"I am glad that my friend @EmmanuelMacron and the protesters in Paris have agreed with the conclusion I reached two years ago," Mr Trump tweeted late on Tuesday (Dec 4).
"The Paris Agreement is fatally flawed because it raises the price of energy for responsible countries while whitewashing some of the worst polluters," said Mr Trump, referring to a global deal on the environment drafted in Paris in late 2015.
