President Trump congratulates France's Emmanuel Macron on election

President Trump made a Monday phone call to his newest global colleague: French President-elect Emanuel Macron.

The U.S. president "emphasized his desire to work closely with President-elect Macron in confronting shared challenges, " a White House readout said.

The two agreed to meet at the NATO summit in Brussels later this month.

According to Reuters, Macron's spokeswoman said the president-elect emphasized the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change during his call with Trump.

Trump had tweeted his congratulations to the business-friendly centrist after Macron's defeat of anti-immigration nationalist Marine Le Pen in the French election was announced Sunday.
