Trump says Macron 'always gets it wrong' as they clash over West Asia

President Trump said on Tuesday that President Macron of France “always gets it wrong,” as simmering tensions between the two leaders over the Israel-Iran conflict blew up into insults.As he made an early exit from the G7 meeting in Canada and flew back to Washington, Trump called Macron “publicity seeking.” In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the French leader “has no idea why I am on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire.” Macron had told reporters covering the G7 meeting that the US had given assurances that “they will find a ceasefire, and since they can pressure Israel, things may change.The speculation about his intentions clearly infuriated Trump, who said, without elaborating, that the real reason for his departure was “much bigger than that.” There was no immediate response from the French presidency.
