Macron invites Americans upset over Trump exit from climate pact to find a 'second homeland'
French President Emmanuel Macron is offering refuge to American liberals upset at President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.
In a video posted to Twitter, speaking in English, Macron said:
“I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history.”
“If you’re wondering how to get into France, you can either be a Syrian [jihadi] or an American climate scientist.”
“To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say that they will find in France a second homeland. I call them: Come and work here, with us, to work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you, France will not give up the fight.”
Macron also posted a picture to Twitter, with the words “Make Our Planet Great Again” on a green and blue background.
Macron is a 39-year-old liberal who worked in mergers and acquisitions for the Rothschild investment bank in Paris and as the economy minister to French Socialist Party President François Hollande before rebranding himself as an “outsider” last year and launching a campaign for president.
