French President Macron Attacks Nationalism As He Address US Congress.

French President Emmanuel Macron has used his rare 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.
He said the US had invented multilateralism and now needed to reinvent it to create a new 21st Century world order.
Mr Macron also hailed the "unbreakable bonds" of the US and France, forged in "liberty, tolerance and equal rights".
The French president was given a three-minute standing ovation as he took his place in the chamber for his speech.

Mr Macron has developed a strong relationship with President Donald Trump, becoming the first foreign leader to be afforded a US state visit.
But the French president's comments showed that the pair do not agree on all subjects.

Mr Macron said isolationism, withdrawal and nationalism "could be tempting" as a "temporary answer" but they "would not douse, only inflame, the fears of our citizens".
