“I have another question—will the Venezuelan scenario or the Iranian scenario be applied to Macron? In fact, that is the main question that, I believe, Macron himself has been asking,” Zakharova told Sputnik.The day before, Trump noted that his French counterpart would very soon cease to be president. Elections in the country are scheduled for April 2027, but Macron will not be able to take part, as he has almost completed two consecutive five-year terms.On Wednesday, Trump also criticized NATO countries for refusing to assist in the operation against Iran. He admitted he was disappointed, including with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.This week, the White House had planned to announce the creation of a coalition to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The US called on France, Germany, Britain, China, Japan, South Korea, and others to send their warships to the region. Some have already declined the initiative, including France.
