Trump explains why he posted Macron, Rutte private text messages on social media

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he shared private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on social media because they "made my point."

"It just made my point. They're saying, 'Oh gee, let's have dinner, let's do this, let's do that.' It just made my point," Trump said in an interview with The New York Post.

The president posted screenshots of text messages from Macron and Rutte on his Truth Social platform that praised him for his work in Syria, Gaza and Ukraine.

Macron offered to set up a G7 meeting in Paris after the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and have dinner with Trump before he heads back to the White House.

A White House official told Fox News that Trump has no plans to travel to Paris at this time.

Rutte said he was "committed to finding a way forward on Greenland" amid the commander in chief's threats to annex the Arctic territory, while Macron wrote that he did not understand Trump's approach.

Both messages addressed Trump warmly, opening with "my friend" and "dear Donald."

TRUMP ISSUES STERN WARNING TO NATO AHEAD OF VANCE'S HIGH-STAKES GREENLAND MEETING

Trump is expected to meet with several world leaders at the 56th annual World Economic Forum in Davos this week, where his administration is seeking to stage a signing ceremony for the Gaza Board of Peace.

It's unclear how many countries will ultimately sign on to the agreement amid reports there's a $1 billion permanent membership fee.

When questioned on Tuesday about French President Emmanuel Macron seemingly signaling reluctance to accept the invitation, Trump said, "Did he say that? Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon. So, you know, that's alright."

"What I'll do is if they feel like hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join," Trump said. "But, he doesn't have to join."
