- Former President Donald Trump told Fox News that French President Emmanuel Macron got too friendly with China during a recent visit to Beijing.
- Macron made a three-day state visit to China in early April, during which he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and made numerous public remarks that were characterized in western media as overly sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and contrary to European interests.
- Trump, in an interview with Carlson, derided his “friend” for sucking up to China.
