“Well, nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon,” Trump told reporters.

Then he threatened to hit French wines and Champagnes with 200 percent tariffs.

WHAT HE SAID

“We are totally in line on Syria“

WHAT HE MEANT

Syria is, undoubtedly, an area of agreement for the duo. Both support the former Al-Qaeda member Ahmed al-Sharaa as Syria’s leader, despite ongoing issues over reconciling the country’s different communities.

Highlighting Syria seems to be a good way to paper over other Trump and Macron’s myriad other disagreements: Washington’s support for far-right movements in Europe, the French president’s desire to impose stricter regulation on tech giants, the Israel-Gaza war, climate change and the role of the United Nations, to name just a few.

Iran

WHAT HE SAID

“We can do great things on Iran”
