DALAM akun Twitternya pada Selasa (13/11), Presiden Donald Trump mengecam Perancis dan Presiden Perancis, Emmanuel Macron, menyebut rendahnya tingkat kesetujuan pemilih pada Macron dan kegagalan Perancis untuk memenuhi sasaran anggaran pertahanan NATO.
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!........

Selain itu, Trump juga menyerang tarif Perancis terhadap ekspor minuman anggur AS.
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!
