Trump Targets Macron In Latest Tweet Attack: 'Make France Great Again!'
- 6 years ago
President Trump went after President Macron in a series of Twitter posts.
President Trump on Tuesday posted a series of scathing tweets, days after French President Emmanuel Macron rebuked nationalism in a speech marking 100 years since the end of World War 1.
"On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S. The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change!" Trump tweeted.
He also wrote: "The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26%, and an unemployment rate of almost 10%. He was just trying to get onto another subject. By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so!"
"MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN!" Trump continued.
Earlier in the morning, Trump had slammed Macron over his suggestion to build a "real European army."
"Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!" Trump wrote.
