Macron Slams Trump's Marriage Quips
The diplomatic rift between the two leaders has deepened as Macron criticized Trump's 'unserious' and contradictory approach to the war in Iran.
Macron suggested that a period of silence from the White House would be welcome, particularly regarding the 'unrealistic' demand to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force.
The French leader also mounted a passionate defense of NATO, warning that Trump's threats to withdraw from the alliance erode its very substance.
Other European allies have echoed these concerns, fearing that Trump's personal attacks are distracting from critical global security issues.
