France's Macron suggests Trump cannot 'make war' against everybody, everything

French President Emmanuel Macron insisted Sunday that he has a solid relationship with President Trump, ahead of his Washington visit this week, but also appeared to caution the president about his aggressive stances on Iran, climate change and international trade, in an exclusive “Fox News Sunday” interview.

“You cannot make a trade war with your allies,” Macron said in the interview conducted on Friday in France. “It’s too complicated. If you make war against everybody, you make trade war against China, trade war against Europe, war in Syria, war against Iran -- come on -- it doesn’t work. You need allies.”

Macron spoke ahead of his visit this week to the United States that includes a dinner Monday with wife Brigitte, Trump and first lady Melania Trump at Mount Vernon, the home of America's first president, George Washington, on the banks of the Potomac River in Virginia.

The trip will mark the first time that Trump has hosted an official state visit since taking office last year and will include a state dinner Tuesday night at the White House and Macron making a joint address to Congress on Wednesday.

The 40-year-old Macron said Sunday that he has a “very special relationship” with Trump, suggesting they’re political “mavericks” mutually committed to fighting terrorism and reducing the influence of rogue nations and dictators.

However, he suggested that Trump stay in the so-called Iran Nuclear Deal, in which economic sanctions are lifted on Iran in exchange for leaders winding down their nuclear program, ahead of a May 12 sanctions deadline.

“I’m not satisfied with the situation with Iran” but don’t leave the deal without a “better option,” said Macron, adding that the issue would be discussed this week. He also expressed optimism that Trump in the coming days will exempt European countries from the international tariffs he intends to impose on aluminum and steel.

If President Macon believes that the United States is "making war" with anybody over anything, he has much to learn during his visit next week.

The US is ending the border wars on our sovereignty waged by other countries and ending the trade war wages against the US sucking US dry as a bone through the false song of globalism and its dishonest "free trade" treaties. We're not waging war, we're fixing our country. That is our responsibility, the same as it is for any nation. We've learned the hard way that open borders and free trade treaties that aren't fair are a disaster and a scourge on our country and people. This all has to be straightened out and made right, that is why President Trump is our President. When he speaks and acts for the United States, he is doing so on behalf of the people of the United States.

SORRY DUDE...THESE COUNTRIES HAVE MADE TRADE "WAR" AGAINST US, THEY LIE, THEY MANIPULATE AND COMMIT EXTORTION.

THEY RIP US OFF AND DUMP THEIR PEOPLE ON OUR BACKS TO PAY FOR.

THESE COUNTRIES ARE NOT OUR "ALLIES".

OUR PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S WERE SUCKERS AND THEY ALSO LINED THEIR OWN POCKETS WITH THEIR OWN SPECIAL INTERESTS AND THEIR BUDDIES BUSINESSES' MAKING THEM RICH! JUST LOOK AT THE BUSHES!

They were crooked idiots, no worst possible combination, because they cause harm without even a valid purpose to do so.
