French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that he believed Iranian strikes on US bases in the Gulf violated the Memorandum of Understanding with the US, and that Iran had been mistaken to carry them out, but added that he understood meetings as part of the 60-day ceasefire between Iran and the United States would continue.
Trump said earlier on Wednesday that the interim agreement to end the war with Iran was over after the attacks.
Macron, Meloni address NATO, Trump remarks
Macron also commented on Trump's broader remarks about NATO allies during the same appearance.
Macron also said he did not hear US President Donald Trump make any complaints behind closed doors about allies, after Trump publicly called Spain a "terrible partner" in the military alliance and renewed claims on Greenland while speaking to reporters alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Ankara.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also commented on her ties with Trump.
"No, I absolutely don't regret anything I've done," Meloni said in Ankara, at the end of a NATO summit in which Trump also took part.
Meloni said she would not respond directly to Trump's posts.
She also said Italy would respect NATO defense spending commitments, but would decide on timing and procedures, and prioritize the Italian defense sector.
