French President Macron, one of the first world leaders to publicly congratulate President-elect Trump, took a pro-Europe message to the European Union's meeting in Budapest on Thursday.

Europe needs to grow some teeth or risk being eaten by the world’s “carnivores,” says French president. Europe can’t be the world’s “herbivore” anymore following Donald Trump’s reelection as the United States president, according to Emmanuel Macron. It needs to become an “omnivore” instead.

Following his Tuesday night victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, well-wishes for Donald Trump have come flooding in from leaders around the world. However, it was French President Emmanuel Macron’s well-wishes for Trump that left many wondering if they were indeed an insult.

The French president was among the first international leaders to react, even before the results were officially announced.

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron warmly welcomed Donald Trump back to the White House, in the first message of congratulations from a major U.S. ally to the Republican candidate.
