French President Emmanuel Macron was prepared to present a unified case for Europe when he arrived at the Oval Office on Monday, at a moment when transatlantic ties have rapidly deteriorated. When it came time to talk, however, there was little to indicate President Donald Trump was coming around to Macron’s point of view. At one point, Macron attempted to correct his US counterpart on the nature of European support for Ukraine, interrupting Trump as he was speaking to suggest he was misstating the facts. The extraordinary moment underscored the strained dynamics of Monday’s talks. While Trump and Macron otherwise appeared convivial and willing to engage on the future of Ukraine, the backdrop to the talks has been Trump’s sometimes false statements about the war effort. “Just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They’re getting their money back,” Trump began as he was preparing to make the case for a new deal to secure Ukraine’s mineral revenues. That is when Macron reached over to grab Trump’s arm to interject.
