“He (Trump. - RT ) has been angry with Macron for a long time,” the source said.

According to another source, Macron’s statements may affect Trump's more positive outlook on NATO.

In early November, Macron stated at NATO "brain death." In his opinion, Europe should begin to think of itself as an independent geopolitical force.

Trump noted that he was disappointed with the statement of the French leader.

As Macron explained, his statement about NATO's “brain death” was a useful signal for the alliance.

Later, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggested that Macron “test his own brain” before making statements about the “brain death” of NATO.
