“He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire. Much bigger than that.” – Trump
U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron overnight, dismissing his counterpart as a “publicity seeker” who “always gets it wrong” in a blistering social media post from Air Force One.
The outburst came after Macron suggested Trump left the G7 summit in Canada early to broker an Israel-Iran ceasefire, telling reporters: “There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange… The U.S. assured they will find a ceasefire and since they can pressure Israel, things may change.”
Trump fired back on Truth Social: “Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit… to work on a ‘cease fire’ between Israel and Iran. Wrong!… Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!”
The White House had earlier cited Middle East developments as the reason for Trump’s early departure, without providing details.
