The international community must draw 'clear red lines' with Russia, French President Emmanuel Macron said, including implementing sanctions after any 'unacceptable behavior' by Russian President.
Even when you're the new president of France, you can trust Twitter to bring you back down to earth with a bang.
In the aftermath of Emmanuel Macron's sweeping victory in the French presidential election — in which he beat far-right Marine Le Pen with 66 percent of the vote — Twitter is confusing him with the macaron, a popular meringue-based cookie.

So great is the confusion, in fact, that many are taking to Twitter to issue reminders about the difference between Macron and macarons and macaroons.

Reminder:
A Macaron is a french confectionery.
A Macron is a French president.
A Macaroon is a coconut cluster.

Many people are totally, 100 percent fine with the confusion, though. In fact, they think it's rather fitting.
I keep reading Macron as macaron and, honestly, that's so fitting

I keep reading Emmanuel Macron's name as 'Macaron,' which would actually be a better last name for a French president, let's be honest.

Of course, the confusion sparked some intense debate. Like, if there were a Macron macaron, what flavour would it be? Good question.
If There was to be a Macron Macaron.... what flavour would it be ? 🤔

All this conversation about macarons was making some people rather peckish. So they celebrated Macron's victory with some macarons.
So we thought this was the best way to celebrate Macron's win. Congrats France! You've made the free world proud! #FrenchElection 🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/qCDPAYCbT8

The moment when your phone autocorrects 'Macron' to 'macaron' and you decided to go out, get some cookies instead of following the election😂

Washington — French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the U.S. back into the Paris climate accords on Sunday, saying President Biden was '100% right' to rejoin the agreement and seek further cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
'It's time to deliver. It's time to rush, and President Biden is 100% right to do so,' Macron said in an interview with 'Face the Nation' that aired Sunday. 'I think the decision taken by your president, in general, this year was super important. Welcome back. I was extremely happy because now the U.S. and the federal government decided to join again and to commit.'

In 2017, then-President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, citing unfair standards on American businesses and workers. Mr. Biden signed an executive order on his first day in office in January rejoining the 2015 accord, which set targets for countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mr. Biden is hosting a virtual summit with dozens of world leaders this week to discuss further action to fight climate change.
While he hailed Mr. Biden's moves, Macron acknowledged that many of the 184 countries that have signed the agreement haven't met their own goals for reducing emissions.

'As Europeans, we increased our targets for 2030 and 2050 a few months ago because indeed we were lagging behind in comparison with our targets. And now we have to accelerate because we are living the first consequences of basically climate disorders,' said Macron.
China and India are the world's first and third largest contributors to global greenhouse emissions, respectively. When asked if these countries should make new commitments to reduce their emissions, Macron said both are improving their systems and are committed to reducing hydrofluorocarbons, which he said are even worse than carbon dioxide emissions.
'We need two things. We need to accelerate innovation and ability to deliver. We need India and China to be with us,' Macron said. 'We had a discussion with President Xi and I think we felt the commitments of President Xi on climate to work with the U.S. and with Europe. First to accelerate its target of 2030 to have the peak emission, and in some cities and some regions to do better and faster.'
But meeting these targets would require an increase in carbon prices, Macron said, which could exacerbate social inequality. The French president said that dynamic was overlooked in 2018 when the country faced riots, protests and violence over a hike in fuel taxes.
'We have to help middle classes and poor people to make this change with us,' said Macron. 'This is a comprehensive and inclusive agenda. I'm sure about that now.And I can tell you, with a lot of humility, I'm even more sure because I made mistakes myself.'
