” Climate Change Now in the Picture
On April 18, France has signaled it will not cooperate with Trump in any way.
Please consider the new French demand: No EU-US Trade Talks Unless Trump Supports Climate Deal.
“
Earlier this week, the European Union agreed to start trade talks with the United States on industrial goods. France, however, has objected to the decision while Belgium abstained. In Paris, the concern is that there cannot be any agreement over trade while the U.S. refuses to commit to key environmental targets.
“France is opposed to the initiation of any trade negotiations with countries outside the Paris climate agreement,” a French official said Monday, explaining why the second largest euro country said no to trade negotiations with Washington.
“It is a question of values. Europe must be exemplary and firm in its defense of the climate,” the same official said.”
