On Wednesday, April 1, Donald Trump claims to have asked France for help to unlock the Strait of Hormuz. The phone call turned out to be unsuccessful, and the American president complained about it at a press briefing at the White House.
Another jab from the White House. American President Donald Trump once again took aim at Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, March 1, in a statement hours before his address to the American nation.
The President of the United States referred to the blow dealt by Brigitte Macron to the face of the French president in May 2025, during a tour of Southeast Asia.
“His wife treats him very badly, he is just recovering from the blow he received in the jaw,” he quipped right away.
Context:
- Donald Trump claims to have asked for France’s help to deal with the Strait of Hormuz, but the request was reportedly declined by Emmanuel Macron.
- Trump takes a dig at Macron’s personal life in his comments.
Fact Check:
- The events described, such as Brigitte Macron allegedly hitting the French president, are not accurate and seem to be a part of a fictional scenario depicted by Donald Trump.
