Most of the time, his fellow leaders \u2014 who represent the United States\u2019 staunchest allies \u2014 have tried to gloss over his jabs. But some have begun hitting back.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Trump has known French President Emmanuel Macron, the host of this year\u2019s summit, the longest. As such, their relationship seems to be the most complicated: one day, a nod of respect; the next, a jab about Macron\u2019s marriage. After years of taking pride in his ability to deal with Trump, Macron has lately sounded more exasperated with his American counterpart.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Things seemed to get off to a good start last year between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, at least compared to the acrid relationship Trump had with Carney\u2019s predecessor Justin Trudeau. But disputes over trade and a forceful speech Carney delivered earlier this year in Davos led Trump to change his view, and he\u2019s lately taken to calling the leader \u201cGovernor Carney,\u201d a nod to the president\u2019s threat to make Canada the 51st US state.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2770\">Supreme Court to decide if migrants detained for months must receive bond hearings<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Perhaps no leader in Europe has spent more time attempting to cultivate Trump than British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. For much of last year, it seemed to work. But Starmer\u2019s unwillingness to support Trump\u2019s war with Iran caused the relationship to deteriorate, and now Trump dismisses the prime minister as \u201cno Winston Churchill.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made a good first impression when he arrived at the White House carrying the birth certificate of Trump\u2019s German-born grandfather. But his status as one of Trump\u2019s favored leaders in Europe took a hit after he questioned the Iran war and said the US was being \u201chumiliated by the Iranian leadership.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Even the European leader most aligned with Trump \u2014 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni \u2014 could not escape the president\u2019s frustrations earlier this year after she declined to participate in the war with Iran. Later, she called Trump\u2019s attacks on Pope Leo XIV \u201cunacceptable.\u201d Trump lashed out at her, proving even a staunch ally like Meloni could not escape his anger.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The newest member of the G7 is also the one who \u2014 so far \u2014 has mostly evaded Trump\u2019s anger. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has made it her mission to develop a close personal relationship with Trump, aided by their shared connection to the slain Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. But Trump has still been critical of Japan\u2019s refusal to participate in the Iran war, and a stray joke about Pearl Harbor during an Oval Office meeting this year went over poorly in Japan.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2768\">GLP-1s may help \u2013\u2013 not harm \u2013\u2013 male fertility<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Sources: Truth Social and CNN reporting (quotes).
