American President Donald Trump publicly mocked French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House Easter lunch, stating that he is "still recovering from a jaw punch by his wife."

The comment apparently refers to a viral video from last year showing a confrontation between the French leader and his wife Brigitte during an official visit to Vietnam.

Trump also criticized NATO allies, calling the Alliance a "paper tiger." He claimed he had contacted allies only to observe their reaction, not because he needed help.

"We defeated Iran, and the last thing we needed was NATO interfering," Trump stated, adding that he told Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "No, no, no, we don't need help now that the war is won."
