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.
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.
How does it compare to BLASTING, though?
Turn the volume down, it’s going to hurt your ears.
