Shortly after Trump’s announcement, the leaders of France, Germany and Italy released a joint statement
rejecting Trump’s assertion that the climate deal can be redrafted.
“We deem the momentum generated in Paris in December 2015 irreversible, and we firmly believe that
the Paris agreement cannot be renegotiated, since it is a vital instrument for our planet, societies and
economies,” said German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Emmanuel Macron and Italian
prime minister Paolo Gentiloni.
The three leaders called on their allies to speed up efforts to combat climate change and promise to do
more to help developing countries adapt.
Merkel called Trump immediately after he delivered his announcement to personally express her regret at
his decision, her spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said on Twitter.
During the conversation she stressed that Germany would stick to the agreement.
He added in another tweet in English: “Chancellor Merkel disappointed w/Pres. Trump’s decision.
Now more than ever we will work for global policies that save our planet,” he wrote.
Immediately after her call to Trump, Merkel telephoned Macron, he said, and they agreed that “Germany
and France will grasp at new initiatives in order to ensure the climate agreement is a success”.
In a televised address in French and English, Macron said that Trump had “committed an error for the
interests of his country, his people and a mistake for the future of our planet”.
“I tell you firmly tonight: we will not renegotiate a less ambitious accord. There is no way,” said Macron.
“Don’t be mistaken on climate: there is no plan B because there is no planet B.”...'
