		</div><p>Donald Trump has claimed Emmanuel Macron’s decision to delay an energy tax hike after massive protests justifies his own decision to withdraw from an international climate accord.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said his Mr Macron’s decision means the French president has reached the same conclusion as his US counterpart – that the global agreement reached by nearly 200 nations in Paris in 2015 is “fatally flawed”.</p>
<p>(That is) because it raises the price of energy for responsible countries while whitewashing some of the worst polluters in the world,” Mr Trump tweeted.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I am glad that my friend <a href="https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EmmanuelMacron</a> and the protestors in Paris have agreed with the conclusion I reached two years ago.

<p>The president said he wants clean air and water, but US taxpayers and workers “shouldn’t pay to clean up other countries’ pollution”.</p>
<p>He has said the accord would damage the US economy.</p>
<p>France’s planned tax hike was aimed at weaning French consumers off fossil fuels, which are believed to contribute to climate change.</p>
