Macron Criticizes Trump’s Unstable Diplomacy
The diplomatic rift deepened after Trump reportedly mocked Macron and his wife, Brigitte, during a private White House lunch.
Macron described the comments as 'neither elegant nor up to standard,' emphasizing that global security issues should not be treated as a show.
The French leader also mounted a passionate defense of NATO, warning that Trump's threats to withdraw erode the substance of the alliance.
This public clash highlights the growing isolation of the U.S. from its traditional European allies during the current Middle East crisis.
