During a state visit to South Korea, French President Emmanuel Macron sharply criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump for his inconsistent statements regarding NATO and the Iran war. Macron stated that if one wants to be serious, they should avoid making contradictory statements daily, emphasizing the need for stability and trust in alliances like NATO. He warned that Trump's remarks could erode the very foundation of NATO, which relies on mutual trust among its members. Trump's mixed messages have raised concerns in Europe, particularly as the ongoing conflict has led to rising energy prices and inflation. European leaders, including Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk, expressed fears that Trump's threats to withdraw from NATO could play into Russian President Vladimir Putin's hands. Meanwhile, Iran's military warned of severe repercussions for U.S. and Israeli actions, indicating that the conflict will persist until their enemies face significant consequences. Macron also stated that any military action against Iran would not resolve the nuclear issue without a framework for diplomatic negotiations.
