Macron to Urge Milei to Stay in Paris Climate Accord
Amid fears of Argentina's withdrawal, Macron seeks to uphold global climate commitments in talks with Milei.
- Argentina's President Javier Milei has pulled his delegation from COP29 climate talks, raising concerns about a potential exit from the Paris Agreement.
- French President Emmanuel Macron plans to meet Milei in Buenos Aires to advocate for continued support of international climate initiatives.
- Milei's climate skepticism aligns with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who plans to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement again.
- Argentina's departure from the accord would face legal challenges, requiring approval from the Argentine Congress.
- Macron's visit also aims to address EU-South America trade tensions, with a focus on France's opposition to a proposed trade pact.
