Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron publicly corrected Donald Trump in the Oval Office after Trump falsely claimed Europe was only “loaning” money to Ukraine.
Macron clarified that Europe provided 60% of Ukraine’s wartime aid as grants and guarantees, not loans. Trump smirked but did not contest the correction.
The exchange came as Trump softened his stance on Russia, including voting against a UN resolution for Russia’s withdrawal from Ukraine.
It is to the French. That’s a very typical slam.
How does it compare to BLASTING, though?
Turn the volume down, it’s going to hurt your ears.
Toss in slamming someone in a diplomatic meeting is done with a lot different language than on the street corner and yelling “In your face!”
Or in a classroom saying “boom! Got em!” After your classmate realized you’re the one who swapped chairs cause you had the one who had the chair that made fart noises.
