American President Donald Trump has said that his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, suffers from “a very low approval rating.”

He advised the French president to “make France great again.”

Taking to his verified Twitter handle @realDonaldTrump on Tuesday, Trump, in a series of tweets, discussed what he considered to be the problem with Macron, lending him an advice.

Trump had tweeted, “The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26%, and an unemployment rate of almost 10%.

“He was just trying to get onto another subject. By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so!……..

“On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S.

“The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change!

“Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France?

“They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!”

Meanwhile, the office of the French President has said that it would not comment on a flurry of angry tweets from US President Donald Trump about his French counterpart.

“We are not making any comment,” the presidency told the AFP, following the tweets that criticised Macron’s comments on defence and attacked his low approval ratings as well as tariffs on US wine. – Punch
