No place for Trump's anger
Macron's office stressed that France and Europe maintained their support for the communique, saying there was no place for anger on the circuit of international diplomacy.
"International cooperation cannot be dictated by fits of anger and throwaway remarks," the Elysee Palace said.
"Let's be serious and worthy of our people. We make commitments and keep them," the presidency said, adding that "France and Europe maintain their support for this statement."
The office of German Chancellor Angela Merkel also said it stood by the communique.
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Sunday the US president's tweets had destroyed trust and Europe should answer by staying even closer together: "It's actually not a real surprise, we have seen this with the climate agreement or the Iran deal," Maas said about Trump's decision.
"In a matter of seconds, you can destroy trust with 280 twitter characters," Maas remarked, while it would take much longer to rebuild it.
Trump lashes out at Trudeau
Trump's change of heart appeared to have been invoked by Trudeau's comments on Trump's
steel and aluminum tariffs against Canada and other allies. Trudeau said Trump's citing of "national security" as a reason for the levies being imposed was "kind of insulting" to Canadian veterans who had stood by their US allies in conflicts dating back to World War I.
