In a video shared by The Insider Paper, the President delivered a series of sharp comments about the French leader, prompting laughter from the audience.
“I call up France Macron, whose wife treats him extremely badly,” Trump quipped, before adding, “He’s still recovering from the right to the jaw!” The remarks triggered laughter in the room.Trump recalled that he had requested immediate support, saying, “I say, Emmanuel, we’d love to have some help in the Gulf, even though we’re setting records and knocking out bad people and knocking out ballistic missiles. We’d love to have some help if you could. Could you please send ships immediately?”Mimicking the French President’s response, Trump claimed the French leader declined, allegedly saying support could come only after the conflict had concluded. “No, no, no… Cannot do that. Don’t know if we can. We can do that after the war is won,” he said, adding that he clarified he doesn’t need help after the war is won.
The President also shared that several other leaders had offered similar post-conflict support, stating, “Many of them said we’ll be there after the war’s completed.”

The US President expressed gratitude to key regional allies while ensuring them continued support and safety. He said, “I want to thank our allies in the Middle East, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain. They’ve been great, and we will not let them get hurt or fail in any way, shape, or form.”
Addressing domestic concerns over rising fuel prices, he said, “Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home. This short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighbouring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.”
