CNN: Trump-Macron phone call went ‘terrible’

June 4, 2018

A call between President Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron last week that focused on trade and immigration went badly and saw Macron be highly critical of Trump’s policies, two sources familiar with the call told CNN“Just bad. It was terrible,” one of the sources told CNN. “Macron thought he would be able to speak his mind, based on the relationship. But Trump can’t handle being criticized like that.” The call came on the same day that Trump announced he would place a 25 percent tariff on steel and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum from key allies, including Mexico, Canada and the European Union.
