Former French President François Hollande said in a recent interview that President Donald Trump and his administration are “no longer” allies.

When asked to analyze Trump’s first few weeks back in the Oval Office, Hollande did not hold back on criticisms.

In a blunt interview with French news outlet Le Monde, Hollande, who left office in 2017, said that “Even if the American people remain our friends, the Trump administration itself is no longer our ally.” The former French leader also accused Trump of “making pacts with our adversaries.”

On Monday, Trump met with Hollande’s successor, French President Emmanuel Macron. After the two participated in a call with Group of Seven (G7) leaders, Trump said that “a lot of progress has been made” toward ending the war in Ukraine. Additionally, Trump said Macron is a “special man,” and the U.S. wants to keep its “very special” relationship with France “going for a long period of time.”

Macron described himself and Trump as “personal friends.” 

“And, I’m here as well, after discussions with all my colleagues, to say that Europe is willing to step up to be a stronger partner, to do more in defense and security for this continent, and as well to be a reliable partner and to be engaged in trade, economy, investment,” Macron said.
