Trump’s mysterious words on Greenland and the truth about White House’s ‘cage-fight’
The most surprising and confusing moment in the hot mic came when US President Donald Trump and European Council President Antonio Costa were talking to each other. On the microphone, Trump was suddenly heard saying to Costa in a very serious voice: “You understand?” And then after a suspensive pause he said just one word – “Greenland.” Since the beginning and end of this conversation could not be recorded, it is not clear in what context Trump was talking. But many European countries, including Denmark, have already strongly criticized Trump’s past comments about buying Greenland. Soon after, Trump turned the diplomatic discussion to the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) event held at the White House on Sunday and started sharing his cage-side experiences.
Bicycle, jersey number 47 and the last secret message of the Chancellor
The exchange of diplomatic gifts in this mega-summit also attracted everyone’s attention. French President Macron gifted specially designed bicycles to all the leaders to promote the ‘Cycling World Championship’ to be held next year. However, the reaction of Trump, who does not exercise and is only fond of playing golf, could not be recorded in the mic. The most interesting moment came when German Chancellor Merz gifted Trump a jersey of the German national football team, on which Trump’s name and his presidential number ’47’ were written. Trump smiled and flashed this shirt. Later, Merz shared this picture on social media and wrote a very deep and strategic message – “After all, we are on the same team.” This hot-mic leak has proved that even after the cameras are removed, destiny continues to keep an eye on every move of these world giants.
