President Donald Trump dumped on French President Emmanuel Macron as he departed Canada late Monday, saying his counterpart erroneously suggested he was returning to Washington to work on a “ceasefire.”
“Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a ‘cease fire’ between Israel and Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Wrong!”
“He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire,” he went on. “Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!”
Earlier, Macron said Trump had made an offer for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
“There is an offer that has been made, especially to have a ceasefire and to initiate broader discussions,” Macron told reporters at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada.
“If the United States of America can achieve a ceasefire, it is a very good thing and France will support it and we wish for it,” Macron said, speaking in French.
