Macron Snaps Back at Trump’s Mockery and Criticism of NATO
President Emmanuel Macron of France suggested that President Trump’s daily comments on the war in Iran were unserious. “Maybe one shouldn’t speak every day,” Mr. Macron told reporters.
President Emmanuel Macron of France snapped back at President Trump on Thursday, saying that his shifting statements about the Iran war were unserious and that his anger toward NATO was unhelpful. He also said that mocking comments the president made about him personally were unworthy at a time of war.
Speaking in South Korea during a trip through Asia, Mr. Macron refused to respond directly to Mr. Trump’s personal remarks, which were made during an Easter lunch on Wednesday. They included a derogatory reference to an incident with Mr. Macron’s wife, Brigitte, on a plane last year, where Ms. Macron was caught on video appearing to shove her husband.
Mr. Macron told reporters in the capital, Seoul, that Mr. Trump’s remarks were “neither elegant nor befitting.”
“So I’m not going to respond to them; they don’t deserve a response,” he said, clearly bristling.

Iran responds to Trump address with missile attacks on Israel, Gulf states
Iran responded to President Trump’s Wednesday evening address with a barrage of attacks on Israel and other Persian Gulf states, showcasing its defiance amid reports of ceasefire negotiations.
“The centers you think you have targeted are insignificant, and our strategic military productions take place in locations of which you have no knowledge and will never reach,” Lt. Col. Ebrahim Zolfaghari, an Iranian military spokesperson, said early Thursday in a statement, according to The Associated Press.
Zolfaghari’s remarks follow Trump’s suggestion that the Middle East conflict could soon end as U.S. “core strategic objectives are nearing completion.”
