Trump’s 'Brigitte Jibe' Sparks Firestorm; Emmanuel Macron Hits Back Hard

France’s diplomatic tensions escalate as Emmanuel Macron sharply hits back at Donald Trump over personal remarks that crossed into private territory. Speaking during a high-profile visit to South Korea alongside Brigitte Macron, Macron called Trump’s comments “inappropriate” and below leadership standards, making his stance clear. The response came hours after Trump, during a private lunch in Washington DC, mocked Macron while recounting a phone call—triggering a fresh diplomatic row now drawing global attention.
