00:01The pair have shared many a firm handshake.
00:04But relations between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump are cooling.
00:08Breaking from international decorum late Monday,
00:11the US president went so far as to publicly share what he said was a private message from his French counterpart.
00:17My friend, we are totally in line on Syria.
00:20We can do great things on Iran.
00:22I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.
00:25Let us try to build great things.
00:27The transcript then went on to propose a G7 meeting in Paris on Thursday
00:32and invite Ukrainians, Danes, Syrians and even Russians on the sidelines.
00:37A White House official said Trump has no plans to travel to Paris at this time.
00:42It came as European countries are weighing countermeasures
00:45after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on eight of them, including France,
00:50and attempt to pressure them into agreeing for him to take over Greenland.
00:54On Tuesday, Macron used a speech at the World Economic Forum to push back,
00:59saying the US was aiming to weaken and subordinate Europe.
01:03We do prefer respect to bullies.
01:06We do prefer science to plutism.
01:08And we do prefer rule of law to brutality.
01:11As their relationship has deteriorated, the US president has taken to mocking Macron.
01:17Yes, Donald, Donald, thank you so much for calling on.
01:20It hit a new low when Macron rejected Trump's invitation to join his so-called Board of Peace.
01:26Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon.
01:29So, you know, that's all right.
01:31What I'll do is if they feel like Kosto, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join.
01:38Macron's office said the decision not to join was over concerns that the board, which is chaired by Trump,
01:44would undermine the United Nations framework.
01:47I've decided to take a few minutes and work.
01:48I'm going to put a few more questions up.
01:49I'm here to talk about it.
01:52You're welcome.
01:53I want to thank your wife.
01:54Thank you, God.
01:55Have a happy day.
01:56I'll call you now.
01:57I'll call you.
01:58I'm here to take you now.
01:59I want to mention that you teams are coming up.
02:00I'll call you.
02:01Whichever, as we call you, you will find the right side of the world,
02:04you are coming up, and you will find the right side of your left side of the world.
02:05I'm looking up, here to the right side of the road.
02:06I want to make you.
02:07I recommend you, that I want you to just have to ask yourself and be pleased.
02:09And I'm going up.
02:10we'll see you today.
