France's Ambassador to the United Nations, Francois Delattre, says, US is on the wrong side of history on climate. Speaking to Reporters in New York, he said, President Donald Trump's decision to quit the Paris climate accord will further erode US moral and political leadership in the world. Mr. Delattre said, French President Emmanuel Macron has made a strong pledge to stand by the accord and similar reactions from India and China confirm that the Paris deal is a common roadmap to a low-carbon world. <br/><br/>Trump announced the US exit from the 190-plus nation pact last week, drawing strong criticism from allies in Europe who vowed to turn to China and other countries as partners to implement the 2015 deal. Trump's decision to scrap the Paris deal has left him isolated on the world stage and prompted a backlash at home, with several state governors, city mayors and powerful companies already drawing up plans to meet the pact's emission targets without Washington's backing.
