US President Donald Trump snubbed the French President Emmanuel Macron's call for an emergency G-7 meeting amid the rising tensions over Washington's push to acquire Greenland. Speaking to the press on completion of his first year of the second term, Trump said that he will not attend the proposed meeting, suggesting there's uncertainty over Macron's political future.

"No, I wouldn't do that...Because Emmanuel is not going to be there very long and there's no longevity there," he said. This comes after Trump posted a screenshot of Macron's message on Truth Social, inviting US President for a G7 meeting after the World Economic Forum. Macron affirmed that France and the US were in line on Syria and could do great things in Iran, but do not understand his stance on Greenland.
