INTERNATIONAL NEWS - But Mr Macron says he will not agree to the president's demand that America's terms should be negotiated.
He made his comments in a CBS interview on the eve of a summit on climate he has arranged on Tuesday in Paris.
Mr Macron condemned the manner in which the US had signed an international deal, then withdrawn from it.
"The US did sign the Paris Agreement. It's extremely aggressive to decide on its own just to leave, and no way to push the others to renegotiate because one decided to leave the floor. I'm sorry to say that. It doesn't fly."
President Macron aspires to lead the world in fulfilling the ambition of the Paris climate accord to hold global temperature rise to well under 2C .
He told CBS he was not willing to be accused by future generations of understanding the extent of the climate problem but doing too little to solve it.
