Macron attacks nationalism in speech to US Congress French President Emmanuel Macron has used his speech to the joint houses of the US Congress to denounce nationalism and isolationism. Mr Macron said such policies were a threat to global prosperity. The speech was widely interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on President Donald Trump's America First agenda. Mr Macron also raised differences on global trade, Iran and the environment, seemingly in contrast to the warm bonhomie of his visit so far. The French president was given a three-minute standing ovation as he took his place in the chamber for his speech. He hailed the "unbreakable bonds" of the US and France, forged in "liberty, tolerance and equal rights". He has developed a strong relationship with President Trump, and is in Washington as the first foreign leader to be afforded a US state visit by the Trump White House. But the French president's comments showed that the pair do not agree on all subjects. Mr Macron said isolationism, withdrawal and nationalism "can be tempting to us as a temporary remedy to our fears. But closing the door to the world will not stop the evolution of the world. It will not douse but inflame the fears of our citizens". He added: "We will not let the rampaging work of extreme nationalism shake a world full of hopes for greater prosperity." Mr Macron said that the US had invented multilateralism and now needed to reinvent it to create a new 21st Century world order. He said the UN and the Nato military alliance might not be able to fulfil their mandates and assure stability if the West ignored the new dangers arising in the world. Bonhomie and blows Analysis by BBC North America editor Jon Sopel Macron has provided a masterclass to other world leaders on how to handle Donald Trump - you cuddle up close, you flatter where necessary - but you use that to allow you to pack a big punch. He also spoke about the very special relationship between France and the US, a move that might have had some in Downing Street choking on their tea. In a cleverly crafted speech, he started with the entente between himself and the US president that some said was just too cordial. But then came the punches - and they were hard-hitting jabs, taking direct aim at Donald Trump's policy agenda. On free trade, on the importance of science, on inequality - and Mr Trump's America First policies. Then he audaciously borrowed Donald Trump's Make America Great Again slogan to talk about the environment, and the importance of the climate change agreement the US has said it will withdraw from. He said it was time to make the Earth great again. The speech was punctuated by applause and cheering. This was an important moment in the US Congress. Emmanuel Macron has emerged as a world leader who offers a competing and sharply different world vision to the US president - while all the time maintaining a bonhomie with him. That's quite a political feat. On trade, Mr Macron said that "commercial war is not the proper answer", as it would "destroy jobs and increase prices", adding: "We should negotiate through the World Trade Organization. We wrote these rules, we should follow them." Mr Trump has in the past said that trade wars are good and easily won. He has taken on Europe and China with new tariffs, saying the US has suffered from unfair trade practices. On another issue of difference, Iran, Mr Macron said his country would not abandon a nuclear deal with Tehran that was agreed by world powers when President Barack Obama was in office but which Mr Trump has branded "terrible". Mr Macron said: "This agreement may not address all concerns, and very important concerns. This is true. But we should not abandon it without having something more substantial instead." But he added: "Iran shall never possess any nuclear weapons. Not now. Not in five years. Not in 10 years. Never." On the environment, he said by "polluting the oceans, not mitigating CO2 emissions and destroying biodiversity we are killing our planet. Let us face it, there is no Planet B". Donald Trump last year announced that he intended to withdraw the US from the Paris global climate accord, another landmark Obama achievement, saying it was a "very bad deal for the US". The accord, signed by nearly 200 countries, aims to cut damaging emissions. Mr Macron's wide-ranging address highlighted numerous political and cultural links, citing American Revolutionary War officer Marquis de Lafayette, writer and feminist Simone de Beauvoir, Abraham Lincoln, author Ernest Hemingway, the founder of French romanticism François-René Chateaubriand and both Presidents Roosevelt. His quoting of Franklin D's "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" drew one of his biggest applauses. How did the Congress speech go down? Senior House Democrat Adam Schiff said Mr Macron had offered "more of a direct contradiction of the president than I was expecting", telling AFP: "There were more than a few uncomfortable moments on the [Republican] side of the aisle." Republican Senator Jeff Flake said the speech was "very contrary to Trumpism, very much contrary to an America First agenda". But Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy denied there was any rebuke. "He said in there that he believes in free and fair trade. That's exactly what the president asked for," he said.

माक्रोंद्वारा ट्रम्पका कतिपय नीतिलाई चुनौती फ्रान्सका राष्ट्रपति एमानुएल माक्रोंले अमेरिकी संसद्का दुवै सदनलाई एउटा विरल सम्बोधनका क्रममा आफ्ना समकक्षी डोनल्ड ट्रम्पका केही नीतिहरूलाई सशक्त रूपमा चुनौती दिएका छन्। सम्बोधनका क्रममा सांसदहरूबाट धेरै पटक सम्मान पाएका माक्रोंले उर्लंदो राष्ट्रवादले विश्वव्यापी समृद्धिको आशालाई चुनौती दिएको चेतावनी दिए। र, पृथक रहने नाममा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय रूपमा सहभागिता नत्याग्न उनले आग्रह समेत गरे। ट्रम्पको आलोचना गरेको प्रष्ट बुझ्ने गरी माक्रोंले अहिलेका उद्योगहरूलाई बचाउँदा जलवायु परिवर्तन र प्रदूषणसँग जुझ्न विफल भएको बहाना बनाउन नमिल्ने बताए। इरानबारे नयाँ सम्झौता हुन सक्छः ट्रम्प-माक्रों विश्वस्त उनले हरितगृह ग्यास उत्सर्जनलाई सीमित पार्ने प्यारिस सम्झौतामा अमेरिकामा फर्किनेमा आफू विश्वस्त रहेको उल्लेख गरे। उनले थपे, यो ग्रहको अर्को विकल्प छैन। अहिलेसम्मकै न्यायो देखिएको आफ्नो भ्रमणमा माक्रोंले अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय व्यापार, इरान मामिला र वातावरणका विषयमा आफ्नो फरक मत राखे। सम्बोधन गर्न लागेका माक्रोंप्रति सांसदहरू तीन मिनेटसम्म उभिएर सम्मान दर्शाएका थिए। 'कहिल्यै नटुट्ने' उनले स्वतन्त्रता, सहिष्णुता र बराबरीको अधिकारले गाँसिएको 'कहिल्यै नटुट्ने' अमेरिका र फ्रान्सबीचको सम्बन्धको प्रशंसा गरे। माक्रोंले राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पसँग एउटा सशक्त सम्बन्धको विकास गरेका छन् र ट्रम्पले सत्ता सम्हालेयता अमेरिकाको राजकीय भ्रमण गर्ने उनी पहिलो विदेशी नेता हुन्। तर फ्रान्सेली राष्ट्रपतिका टिप्पणीहरूले दुई नेताहरू सबै विषयमा एकमत नरहेको देखाउँछ। उनले थपे, "हामी बृहत् समृद्धि हासिल गर्न विश्वले लिएको आशालाई उग्रराष्ट्रवादी गतिविधिका कारण धरमराउन दिँदैनौँ।"
