Macron jabs Trump on NATO

Tensions between the U.S. and its European allies have reached a new peak as Emmanuel Macron publicly challenged Donald Trump's leadership style.

The French leader described Trump's recent mockery of his marriage as "neither elegant nor appropriate" for a head of state.

Macron emphasized that military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is unrealistic and urged the U.S. President to adopt a more serious diplomatic approach.

The public rift underscores growing European anxiety over the reliability of the transatlantic security guarantee.
