The Iran war requires a serious approach that does not change every day, Emmanuel Macron has said, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump's contradictory remarks about the conflict. This is not a show. We are talking about war and peace and the lives of men and women, the French president told journalists upon his arrival in South Korea for a state visit. When you want to be serious you don't say every day the opposite of what you said the day before, Macron added, suggesting that it may be better not to speak every day and allow matters to settle.
Macron was addressing concerns over the U.S.-Israel operations in Iran, which have now entered their second month, with France and other European nations cautiously supporting U.S. actions while refraining from direct involvement. Trump's administration has previously sent mixed signals about the conflict, oscillating between calls for ceasefires and claims of victory.
Macron also reacted to Trump's recent comments about NATO, asserting that alliances depend on trust and the commitment to respect them. He expressed his discontent about the daily public speculation regarding NATO commitments.
In response to Trump's mocking remarks about Macron's marriage, the French leader dismissed the comments as neither elegant nor up to standard, stating they did not warrant a response. The comments made by Trump have been met with backlash in France, where many, including critics of Macron, stood in defense of the president's dignity. Macron concluded discussions around military strategies in conflict zones like the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as unrealistic due to the danger involved.
