French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday were heard on a live microphone discussing President Trump on the sidelines of the G7 Leaders’ summit in Evian-les-Bains, France.
“Yesterday, we had a difficult discussion” with Trump, Macron is heard telling Zelensky.
The conversation took place as Macron greeted his Ukrainian counterpart upon his arrival as they walked the grounds of the Hotel Royal.
Macron is also heard urging Zelensky to stay longer at the summit. The Ukrainian responds that he is scheduled to visit Brussels the next day to speak with leaders in the European Union.
