“He asked me,” Trump told reporters as he sat down to meet with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. “I don’t consider that disrespectful at all.
The president refused to say specifically when Macron informed him of his plans to ask Zarif to fly to Biarritz, the coastal French town that’s the backdrop for year’s Group of Seven summit. Trump said he is not looking for regime change in Iran, rather to negotiate a new deal on its nuclear and ballistic missile programs under which the U.S. would lift sanctions.Trump withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal last year
, Macron and the leaders of Germany and the U.K. have tried to salvage it and bring the U.S. and Iran back to the negotiating table. Instead, Trump has adopted a so-called maximum pressure campaign of sanctions to squeeze Iran’s economy. He’s also expressed a willingness to meet with the Iranians without preconditions, but Iran’s leaders have refused., said on Sunday that he met with Macron and other European officials while in Biarritz.
Some administration officials traveling with the president in France were furious after Zarif’s unannounced arrival in Biarritz. But they said they couldn’t say when Trump became aware.Carol E. Lee is an NBC News correspondent.
Seems HIGHLY UNLIKELY that ANYONE would seek Chairman trump’s approval and none of the other members. Chairman trump is a Poo-Poo Head!
The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. - Proverbs 12:22
Someone should be able to verify this statement by Trump.
That’s a lie. Macron NEVER asked for Trumps “approval”!!!!!
No surprise to Donald..why didn’t he stay
There is no way. I don’t believe anything this man says.
Fake news....MSDNC
Ha-De-Ha-Ha, I wouldn't trust anything Trumpellino says, EVER!
OMG! Yes, can't you just see Macron on his knees begging big brother Trump for his 'permission' to talk to FM Zarif? NOT! LOL. Even though he is, by all accounts the 'Chosen One' and 'God' on earth.
Sure, Jan.
I'll bet ...
💩🤡 Trump actually thinks his opinion on anything matters 🤣🤣🤣
This only makes sense if tRump was asking France to support Russia being reinstated.
Trump lying is like breathing. It just happens.
He couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery!
That didn't happen
I’m sure that’s a lie.
So could someone ask Mr Macron?
Sure he did, fibber.
🤥
Wonder how long it will take Macron to deny he ever sought such an approval from this imbecile? Trump is a delusional, psychotic pathological liar who lies w literally every breath he takes & I believe nothing he says without irrefutable evidence of it’s veracity.
NBC is fake corrupt news...Lester Holt , was in Iran last week-end and he probably knew it through Valerie Jarette , his BFF, who happens to be the senior advisor , to Obama...Jarett and Obama’s , have NBC news, in their back pocket . Oh Jarett, was born in Iran...we are aware.
And yet another lie by the lying liar with low self-esteem.
Yeah, right.
He thinks Macron respects him.
Of course he did...because no one would EVER trie to surprise or embarrass Donnie. He is so pathetic.
Suuuuuuuuuure
He already knew - he's not The Chosen One for nuttin'
He’s lying again. Macron didn’t need a sign off
I bet he didn’t.
Liar.
The man changes his mind more often than anyone.. He's playing the media. ...
Who believes that trump
I’m calling BS

He did not!
Why would it be a surprise if Trump was aware? Just another fine example of Trump being a BLATANT and HABITUAL LIAR!!!!!
