During a press conference, French President Emmanuel Macron interrupted Donald Trump to correct him on financial contributions to Ukraine, stating Europe had paid 60% of the total effort through loans, guarantees, and grants. Trump initially dismissed the claim, saying, “If you believe that, it’s okay with me,” but Macron clarified, “In fact, we both do.” The exchange highlighted tensions over U.S. and European roles in funding Ukraine’s war efforts. Social media users praised Macron’s candidness, while criticizing Trump’s dismissive response. Macron also suggested peace talks between Ukraine and Russia could progress soon, emphasizing any deal must not equate to Ukraine’s surrender.
