French President Emmanuel Macron, during his official visit to Seoul, chose not to dwell on U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal comments about him and his wife. Instead, he redirected attention to what he sees as the real challenges: the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the suffering of civilians, and the economic strain caused by rising fuel and gas prices.

Trump had previously mocked Macron’s personal life and claimed France refused military support in the Gulf. Meanwhile, an old video of Macron and his wife resurfaced online, fueling public chatter. But Macron’s stance is clear—personal disputes are secondary compared to global crises.
