French President Emmanuel Macaron said the long-standing relationship between two countries, such as France and the United States, should be based on mutual respect.
He explained that France is an ally of the United States is not affiliated with it, after he was attacked by US President Donald Trump via Twitter.
In five Twitter tweets after his visit to France, Trump criticized his country's main ally, likening it to Germany's defeat in World War I and II, France's wine industry and Macaron's support.
"At every moment in our history we have been allies, respect between the two allies is a duty," McCron said, referring to France's support for the American war of independence and US support for France in the two world wars.
"I do not think the French expect me to respond to the tweets, but to write this important history," he said in an interview with TF1 television station aboard the aircraft carrier Char De Gaulle.
"Trump is not only targeting the masses inside the United States," he said. "I think he's playing a political game, and I let him play it."
In response to a question about Trump's criticism several days ago, he expressed several thoughts about the formation of a European army, McCron said, "The United States has been and will remain our historic ally, the ally with which we are taking all the risks and carrying out the most complex operations, but being an ally does not mean being a state. Affiliate ".
