French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Seoul for a two-day official visit, where he addressed both the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and recent comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Macron made it clear that he considers Trump’s remarks about him and his wife Brigitte Macron to be unimportant and not worth responding to. Instead, he emphasized that the real issues are far more serious—such as the war, civilian casualties, and the rising cost of fuel and gas affecting people’s daily lives.

Trump had previously made controversial and mocking statements about Macron’s personal life and claimed that France refused his request for military support in the Gulf region. He also suggested that Macron offered help only after the conflict would be over.

Meanwhile, an older video from Hanoi showing a moment between Macron and his wife resurfaced online, adding to the public attention around the situation.

In short, while political tensions and personal remarks continue, Macron is choosing to highlight global challenges over personal disputes.
