Related: What It Means That Trump Is Leaving the Paris Agreement

Macron, who has said France remains committed to the Paris agreement, has criticized Trump's decision to pull the U.S. from the accord. His cheeky spin on Trump's famous slogan, "Make America Great Again," cropped up on his Twitter feed and in a recent speech.

The Paris accord, which was brokered in 2015 and took effect in November 2016, is meant to curb emissions that cause climate change. Trump's decision to pull out of the landmark global pact between 195 countries was a blow to environmentalists, business leaders and international leaders, many of whom have urged him to reconsider.
