Macron slams Trump's war rhetoric

Tensions between the U.S. and its European allies have reached a new peak as President Macron publicly rebuked Donald Trump's recent statements on the Iran war.

Speaking in South Korea, Macron expressed frustration with what he described as 'contradictory pronouncements' that undermine the NATO alliance.

The French leader dismissed the feasibility of a military solution to the Strait of Hormuz closure, advocating instead for a coalition-led diplomatic effort.

This diplomatic rift comes as the U.K. convenes a 40-nation summit to address the global energy crisis triggered by the conflict.
