As we reported, President Emmanuel Macron unexpectedly announced on Thursday that France will recognize Palestine as a state. The idea was met with scorn from a number of countries, most notably from the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday, July 25th, dismissed Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state as pointless.
“He’s a very good guy, I like him, but that statement doesn’t carry weight,” Trump told reporters.
