In recent months, relations between Donald Trumppresident of the United States, e Emmanuel Macronpresident of France, have ended up several times in the spotlight. Photos, videos and public declarations have highlighted a series of meetings characterized by tensions, verbal clashes and embarrassing moments. The latest case concerns Palestine: after the announcement of the Elysée’s tenant on the desire to recognize Palestine, a hypothesis considered crazy by the United States and a potential danger for peace, the US President paid the exit of the “colleague” cockerel with a lapidary phrase. “He is a good person – he said – I like it, he does team game, but the good news is that what he says does not count”. Translated: Stay to Keep.
France minimized the incident explaining that the extra chair was intended for an interpreter, not in Macron. French sources say that Macron would still meet both Zelensky and Trump separately and that he would “encourage President Trump to meet Zelensky”. Although the images have gone around the world, transalpine diplomatic sources have tried to reduce the reach of the episode, claiming that there have been no significant tensions.

A few moments after the blow and response between Washington and Paris, Trump added that Macron “does not hit us often”, while the French president has liquidated criticism as “vicissitudes that do not disturb me”. During the summit, a photo immortalized the two leaders together. However, the disagreements also concern the management of the crisis with Greenland, the UN conference on a Palestinian state, and the European response to the moves of the United States on the most spiny international issues.
Yesterday Macron announced the will of France to recognize the Palestinian state. And he did it just as the negotiations between Tel Aviv and Hamas went to the roll. According to Marco Rubio, the French move is “reckless” and “makes Hamas’ propaganda feed”. The United States ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, instead ironized: “the unilateral ‘declaration’ of Macron of a ‘Palestinian’ state did not specify where it would have been. Now I can reveal exclusively that France will offer the French Riviera and that the new nation will be called ‘Franc-en-Stine’ “.
Germany, for its part, also abandoned Emmanuel to its destiny. In fact, the German government “has no plans” in this regard “in the short term” and “continues to consider” this move “as one of the last steps on the path towards a two -states solution”. Merz & Co’s position is, in essence, the same as the Italian executive.
