Donald Trump commented that Macron will soon no longer be in office and suggested that tariffs could lead France to join the council. This initiative, launched by Trump in September last year, aims at mediating and resolving global conflicts. Trump also invited other countries, including Russia, to participate, but reactions have been cautious, and diplomats have warned that the plan could affect the UN's activities.
