Macron accuses Trump and other foreign leaders of ‘stupid comments’ about France unrest
Leaders criticised for spreading misleading information as France prepares for further protests this weekend Emmanuel Macron has accused Donald Trump and other foreign leaders of making “stupid comments” about France’s street unrest for political gain, as the country prepared for more protests this
What the coverage shows
All four outlets center Macron’s criticism of foreign leaders’ remarks on the France unrest, and all three extracts that name names point to Donald Trump and, in two cases, Benjamin Netanyahu. The framing diverges in emphasis: The Guardian US foregrounds “stupid comments” and political gain, the BBC calls it an accusation of “exploiting” the riots, and the New York Times highlights Macron saying Trump does not like France and distorts its troubles. South China Morning Post is the only one to describe the comments as a “veiled shot” and to note the apparent swipe at Trump and Netanyahu.
