After Trump jolt, wholl Gokul

T
he body language at Prime Minister Narendra Modis meeting
with French President Emmanuel Macron had so much to portray
when seen against events surrounding the Paris Agreement, now
swirling in world politics. The affectionate bearhug was in direct
contrast to the stiff handshake that only last week marked a similar first
encounter between US President Donald Trump and Mr Macron. The rest
of the world is, justifiably, angry at the US President for reneging on the
deal, allowing the internal compulsions of a divided America to dominate
his decision-making. The US pullout may have changed the equations
somewhat, while the chemistry Mr Modi and Mr Macron appeared to
share is positive not only for bilateral ties between two democracies but
also for a world waking up to the need to get together in an effort to save
the planet from global warming.
