The soliloquy between Trump and Macron was kind of interesting
At the NATO meeting Tuesday in London, Trump went looking for Macron who had earlier called NATO ‘brain dead.’ Sitting next to Macron, Trump brought up another sore spot for France: the repatriation of ISIS fighters.
“And they are all under lock and key but many are from France, many from Germany and many are from the UK. They’re mostly from Europe. And some of the countries are agreeing. I have not spoken to the president about that. Would you like some nice ISIS fighters? I can give them to you. You can take every one you want.”
Macron deflected --
“it is true you have a current fighters coming from Europe. But it’s a minority problem of the overall problem we have. And I think the number one priority because it is not yet finished is to get rid of ISIS.
“And it is not done, I’m sorry to say that. Your number one problem are not the foreign fighters, it is the ISIS fighters in the region and you have more and more of these fighters due to the situation today.”
Trump replied --
“It’s why he is a great politician. That was one of the greatest non-answers I’ve ever heard and that’s okay.”
