France’s Macron Says Will Tell Trump He Cannot “Be Weak” With Putin

French President Emmanuel Macron, who is due to make a visit to the White House next week, said Thursday he planned to tell US President Donald Trump that he cannot “be weak” with Vladimir Putin.

“I’m going to tell him: ‘You can’t be weak with President Putin. That’s not who you are, it’s not your trademark, it’s not in your interest'”, Macron said as he answered questions from the French public on social media.
