President Donald Trump on Jan. 20 posted what he said were private messages from French President Emmanuel Macron, in which Macron questioned Trump’s Greenland push and offered to host a G7 meeting that could include Russia and other parties.

In a screenshot Trump posted on Truth Social early Tuesday, Macron told Trump he did not understand what the U.S. president was “doing on Greenland.” The French president also offered to host a G7 meeting and suggested inviting a range of actors—including Ukrainians, Danes, Syrians, and Russians—to participate on the sidelines of the gathering, scheduled for Jan. 22.
