Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Macron Hits Back After Trump Mocks His Wife
Caption: Macron Hits Back After Trump Mocks His Wife. President Emmanuel Macron rebuked remarks by Donald Trump, calling them “not elegant”. Trump mocked Macron’s relationship with Brigitte Macron, saying: “I called up France, Macron, whose wife treats him extremely badly, (he is) still recovering from the right to the jaw”, referring to a 2025 video. The comments came amid tensions over France’s refusal to support the U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iran. Macron responded during an official visit to South Korea, criticising the tone of Trump’s remarks. France has deployed defensive forces in the Gulf but refused to send assets to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Paris has also blocked U.S. use of its airbases, aligning with other European allies resisting deeper involvement. Trump’s comments triggered backlash in France, with politicians condemning them as “unacceptable”. The exchange highlights growing personal and political tensions between the two leaders.
