Macron caused a storm after a state visit to China last week in which he cautioned Europeans should not chain themselves to US foreign policy.
French President Emmanuel Macron has been in China meeting with Xi Jinping and “kissing his ass,” Donald Trump said Tuesday.
The former US president sat down with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson for his first mainstream media appearance since being indicted in New York.
In a rambling interview, the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee said the United States had lost influence in the world since he left office.
“You got this crazy world, it’s blowing up and the United States has absolutely no say,” he told Carlson.
“And Macron, who’s a friend of mine, is over with China, kissing his ass. Okay, in China! I said, ‘France is now going to China.'”

The remarks sparked unease in Washington, although the White House sought to play them down, with spokesman John Kirby saying the Biden administration remains “comfortable and confident in the terrific bilateral relationship we have with France.”
