Trump: Macron ‘fuck Xi’s ass’
WASHINGTON: French President Emmanuel Macron was in China to meet Xi Jinping and “kiss her ass,” donald trump said Tuesday.
The former US president spoke to Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson in his first mainstream media appearance since being charged in New York.
In a rambling interview, the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee said the United States had lost influence in the world since he left office.
“You have this crazy world, it’s exploding and the United States has absolutely nothing to say,” he told Carlson.
“And Macron, who is a friend of mine, is done with China, fucking his ass. Okay, China! I said, ‘France is now going to China.'”
Macron caused a storm after a state visit to China last week in which he warned Europeans not to chain themselves to US foreign policy.
In remarks to reporters, Macron said European countries should not be caught up in the tense standoff between Beijing and Washington over the fate of Taiwan.
China has vowed to regain control of Taiwan, while the US government pledges to help Taiwan defend itself.
Macron, who spoke to Xi from Taiwan on Friday, warned that Europe is “caught in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building its strategic autonomy”.
“The paradox would be that, panicked, we believe we are just supporters of America,” Macron said. “The worst thing would be to think that we Europeans have to become partisans on this subject and take inspiration from the American agenda and an overreaction from China.”
The remarks sparked unease in Washington, though the White House has sought to downplay them, with spokesman John Kirby saying the Biden administration remains “comfortable and confident in the tremendous bilateral relationship we have with the France”.
