President Donald Trump erupted at France on Tuesday morning over what he perceived to be a major snub, and vowed that the United States would “remember” its actions going forward.
Trump claimed that France refused to allow U.S. military cargo planes en route to Israel to use French airspace, a claim that as of Tuesday morning has yet to be reported on by major news outlets. Nevertheless, Trump condemned France for their purported actions, and attacked the European nation for its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran.
“The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the ‘Butcher of Iran,’ who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!”
France has walked a “fine line” in regards to the U.S. war against Iran, with French President Emmanuel Macron calling the U.S. attacks on Iran “completely unjustified,” while at the same time, providing aid to the United Arab Emirates – a U.S. ally – in the conflict.
