France's Macron Lectures Trump: 'Nationalism is a Betrayal'

As world leaders gathered in Paris, marking the 100th anniversary since the end of WWI, France’s President Macron made an unmistakable jab at President Trump’s proud claim to being a nationalist.????SOT - Macron??"Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism.

Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism.”????That speech given in front of 80 world leaders, including President Trump, seen by many as a reproach to Trump’s ‘America First’ doctrine.????SOT - Trump??"You know, they have a word.

It has sort of become old fashioned.

It's called 'a nationalist' and they say, 'really we're not supposed to use that word.'

You know what, I am a nationalist.

OK?

Nothing wrong with it.

Use that word.

Use that word."????Macron, expressing fear that the contentious political climate could spark a repeat of history.????Macron and Trump’s political bromance has been strained lately.

Trump canceling a planned visit to a U.S. military cemetery in Northern France and in a tweet saying he found Macron’s suggestion to build a european army ‘very insulting.’??
