Donald Trump has stated that Emmanuel Macron is “still recovering from the punch he received to the jaw” from his wife. The President of the Republic did not hesitate to respond to him, Thursday, April 2.
A expected response. Donald Trump complained on Wednesday, April 1, that France is not involved in the war in Iran. During a private lunch, the American president took the opportunity to attack his French counterpart: “Macron, whose wife treats him extremely badly, is still recovering from the punch he received to the jaw.” Trump is referring here to the viral video showing Brigitte Macron putting her hands to her husband’s face, President Macron.
Traveling in South Korea on Thursday, April 2, Emmanuel Macron did not hesitate to say what he thought of Donald Trump’s comments, which he finds “neither elegant nor up to par.” Finally, the French president prefers to summarize his thoughts in this way: “I am not going to respond to this, it does not deserve a response.”
The war in Iran “is not our operation”
Emmanuel Macron preferred to address the criticisms of the French non-involvement in Iran. The French president recalled that Israel and the United States “decided alone” to attack Tehran. “They can then regret that they are not helped in this operation that they decided alone, it is not our operation,” specifies the head of state.
According to him, it is “unrealistic” to think that a military operation will “liberate” the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, Emmanuel Macron reminded that France “believes in international law.”
