Macron’s decision has no importance: Trump

US President Donald Trump made a sarcastic comment on French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to recognize Gaza. He said that Macron’s decision, no matter how good, has no importance. The US president made these comments in response to reporters on Friday after announcing the recognition of Palestine. He said, Emmanuel is a little different. But whatever he says, it doesn’t carry any importance. Nothing will change in his decision. He is a very good man, I like him a lot. But his statement has no effect. Whatever he says, whatever he does, it is up to him. I have no comment on that. I am with the United States, not France. At this time, regarding Hamas, Trump said, I think what happened with Hamas is terrible. They have cooperated with everyone and let’s see what happens. Earlier on Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron announced his decision to recognize Palestine as a state. Then, about 220 UK lawmakers wrote to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to recognize Palestine as a state. More than half of these members from nine political parties are Labour Party MPs. The letter also stated that this would have a significant impact on a larger scale.
