SEOUL, April 2, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that Donald Trump's comments about his marriage were "neither elegant nor up to standard".

"I call up France, Macron -- whose wife treats him extremely badly. Still recovering from the right to the jaw," US President Trump said on Wednesday, referring to a 2025 news video that appeared to show Brigitte Macron shoving the French president's face.
