Politicians from around the world stood behind the US president during his half-hour speech at the Gaza peace summit in Sharm El Sheikh, following the signing of the historic agreement that ended the war in the Middle East.
During the speech, Mr. Trump read a list of countries participating in the summit and praised many of them for their work, whether for peace in the Middle East or in various international conflicts.
On the other hand, the American leader expressed mostly warm comments and praise for these leaders, even referring to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as his "friend."
However, Mr Trump also said there were "some" heads of state he "doesn't like at all".
After initially stating that he would never reveal who they were, he said in a humorous tone, "maybe you do."
" I've known many of you for a long time. You're my friends, you're wonderful people. There are some I don't particularly like, but I won't tell you who they are. In fact, there are some I don't like at all, but you'll never know who they are. Maybe you will, now that I think about it ," he said, with obvious humor.
One leader who did not receive praise from Trump was Norwegian President Jonas Gahr Støre, according to a report in the British newspaper Daily Mail. After reading the word "Norway" on the list of countries participating in the summit, Trump said: " We have Norway. Oh, Norway, ah, ah, ah! Norway, what happened? Norway, what happened? " The disappointing remark was probably a reference to the Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, the same report notes. The US president's name, although dominating the media in recent weeks, was not included in the final selection for this year's Nobel Prize.
The two-time US president had launched a not-so-subtle campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize since his first term, when he claimed that "a lot of people" thought he had won it.
At the summit, Trump joked that the Norwegian president was “hiding” from him after his nomination was rejected. He said: “Where is Norway, where is he? I don’t think he’s going to stand up.” Mr. Trump then noticed that Mr. Storr was standing in the crowd away from the podium.
Another world leader who received a cold welcome from President Trump was Emmanuel Macron, who received a threatening warning from the American leader, the article’s editor notes. Trump pulled the French president in for a warm handshake before the two men placed their hands on each other’s arms in front of a large crowd of photographers. The embrace quickly turned into something resembling a wrestling match, as the two presidents exchanged heated words as they shook hands from side to side. Macron eventually broke free from Trump’s grasp and hurried off the stage.
