French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly invited former US President Donald Trump to a meeting in Paris after Davos, including a dinner, according to screenshots shared by Trump on Truth Social. Macron’s messages suggested close coordination on Syria and Iran, while expressing confusion over Trump’s plans for Greenland.
In his post, Trump also shared an AI image depicting him discussing issues with European leaders in the White House, with the American flag superimposed over Greenland. The screenshots were posted without any apparent response from Trump, and the White House did not comment.
The messages appear as tensions over Greenland, trade, and diplomacy continue to simmer. Trump has previously linked his drive to acquire Greenland to his failure to secure a Nobel Peace Prize, noting he no longer thinks “purely of Peace.”
In a recent exchange, Trump addressed Macron’s role in the so-called “Board of Peace.” When asked about Macron saying he would not join, Trump replied: “Did he say that? Nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join.”
00:00U.S. President Donald Trump has shared screenshots of messages sent by French
00:10President Emmanuel Macron, inviting him to Paris for a meeting and dinner after
00:15the Davos summit. Macron's messages reportedly highlight cooperation on
00:20Syria and Iran while expressing confusion over Trump's plans for
00:24Greenland. In the full message, Macron wrote, My friend, we are totally in line on
00:31Syria. We can do great things on Iran. I do not understand what you're doing on
00:35Greenland. Let us try to build great things. I can set up a G7 meeting after
00:40Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danes, the
00:45Syrians and the Russians in the margins. Let us have a dinner together in Paris
00:49before you go back to the U.S. Trump posted the messages on Truth Social along
00:56with an AI generated image showing him talking with European leaders in the
01:01White House with the American flag superimposed over Greenland. The
01:06screenshots do not show any reply from Trump and the White House has not
01:10issued a comment. This comes after Trump linked his push to acquire Greenland to
01:16his failure to win a Nobel Peace Prize, saying he no longer thinks purely of
01:21peace as tensions over the Arctic Territory continue to simmer.
01:26No, I don't care about the Nobel Prize. First of all, a very fine woman felt that I
01:31deserved it and really wanted me to have the Nobel Prize and I appreciate that. If
01:36anybody thinks that Norway doesn't control the Nobel Prize, they're just kidding. They have a board but it's controlled by Norway and I
01:46don't care what Norway says. But I really don't care about that. What I care about is saving lives. And I think I've saved tens of millions of lives.
01:57If you look at India, Pakistan, just as one, two nuclear powers, you look at so many of the countries that were in a 30, in some cases, a 35 year war and I got it done.
02:09We stopped eight wars and maybe we'll be stopping at night very soon. We'll see.
02:14When asked about Macron reportedly saying he would not join the Board of Peace, Trump responded.
02:20Did he say that? Nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join.
02:30Did he say that? Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon. So, you know, that's all right. What I'll do is if they feel like hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join. But he doesn't have to join. If he said that, you're probably giving it to me a little bit differently. But if he actually did say that, but as you know, he's going to be out of office in a few months.
