Talks took place between French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump on the dispute related to Greenland. Trump made public the screenshot of Emmanuel Macron’s text message. In this, Macron praised the American efforts regarding Syria and Iran and talked about talking together on Greenland.
Emmanuel Macron said that be careful in sending private messages to Donald Trump, otherwise things will be exaggerated about you. Macron said that he does not understand America’s strategy regarding Greenland, which Trump is threatening to take over at any cost. Macron made 2 proposals in the chat. First- A G7 meeting should be held in Paris on Thursday (22 January 2026), in which I can also persuade Ukraine, Denmark, Syria and Russia for talks. Second- Before you go back to America, let’s have dinner together in Paris on January 22.
Macron wrote ‘my friend’ in the chat
The French President has publicly called Donald Trump his friend several times. Some meetings between the two leaders were also good. However, both the leaders have targeted each other in the last few days. Trump especially targeted France regarding diplomatic efforts and energy issues. On Monday (January 19, 2026), France refused to join US President Trump’s proposed Gaza ‘Board of Peace’. On this Trump said, ‘Nobody wants him because he will be out of office very soon.’ He then threatened to impose a 200 percent tariff on French wine and Champagne.
Meaning of Macron agreeing on Syria issue
Syria is an area of agreement between Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron. Both leaders support former al-Qaeda member Ahmed al-Shaara as Syria’s leader. Both Trump and Macron give priority to Syria because this is the best way for them to hide their differences. Washington’s support for right-wing movements in Europe, the Israel-Gaza war, climate change and the role of the United Nations can be understood as examples of this.
We can do a lot on Iran: Macron
This is an issue on which France and America agree to a great extent. G7 countries have threatened Iran with sanctions if the bloody crackdown on protesters in Tehran continues and the European Union is also considering additional sanctions. Although France does not support bombing Iran, Trump has threatened to do so. The important thing is that Paris had helped in drafting the nuclear deal with Iran, from which Trump had distanced himself during his first term.
Meaning of the French President’s statement on Greenland
Macron told Trump, ‘I don’t understand what you are doing in Greenland?’ For the first time, Macron showed leniency in direct talks with Trump on this issue. France has taken a more aggressive stance publicly in response to Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on European allies that do not support the US President’s plans for Greenland. Macron has urged the European Union to implement its anti-trade tools, while other leaders like German Chancellor Friedrich Merz want to give diplomacy a chance.
Meaning of the statement on Ukraine, Denmark, Syria and Russia
Macron’s apparent willingness to invite Ukraine and Denmark as well as Russia to the G7 meeting in Paris is likely to increase concerns among Europeans. The French President has repeatedly said that European countries should resume talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin after peace talks between the US, Ukraine and Russia. However, there is disagreement among European countries over who should lead these talks and whether the post of European Special Envoy should be created, as Moscow continues to bomb Ukraine.
Inviting Russia to the G7 meeting in Paris could be seen as an attempt to improve Moscow’s image even before Putin shows any sign of taking peace talks seriously. This is a risky bet.
Meaning of G7 meeting in Paris after Davos
Macron had said in the chat, ‘I can organize a G7 meeting in Paris after Davos on Thursday afternoon.’ According to Politico’s report, a French official said, ‘It is possible that Macron may be proposing a meeting that would directly conflict with the emergency summit of EU leaders to be held in Brussels on Thursday evening.’
The EU has a response to Trump’s tariff threat, but it does not include Britain, which is playing a key role in discussions on security guarantees for Ukraine and the protection of Greenland. France is likely to propose the G-7 format as it holds the rotating presidency of the group and includes major countries like Britain and Canada. NATO is usually a specialized forum to discuss European defense and security, but it is not really designed to deal with the situation of one member threatening another.
What could dinner with Trump mean?
Organizing a dinner event in Paris could be a way to win Trump’s heart. Europeans think that grand celebrations make the American President happy. Macron has also mastered “dinner diplomacy”, whereby he has invited Hungary’s Viktor Orban to dinner in Paris several times in an effort to resolve differences. Macron has also mastered dinner diplomacy, inviting Hungary’s Viktor Orban to dinner in Paris several times in an effort to resolve differences.
