The once-friendly rapport between Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron appears to have fully unraveled, as the former U.S. President took a sharp jab at the French leader following remarks about Trump’s early exit from the G7 Summit. Macron had reportedly quipped that Trump "left before the real work began," prompting a fiery social media rebuttal from Trump.

Taking to Truth Social, Trump blasted Macron’s “arrogance” and claimed the French president was “bitter” over America’s strength on the world stage. He further added that his early departure was “planned and strategic,” not a snub - a move that, he said, reflected his priorities.

The episode has reignited tensions between the two leaders, whose relationship has gone from warm handshakes to icy exchanges in recent years. Their clash underscores the deepening political divide in global diplomacy and is already making waves ahead of the U.S. presidential election season.

Once allies, now adversaries - Trump and Macron are back in the geopolitical ring.
