REUTERS/Denis Balibouse Wearing sunglasses due to an “eye condition”, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron spoke at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland, and criticized Donald Trump’s attacks on Greenland. Last week, Macron said he has been using the accessory because of “a completely harmless eye condition.” “Please forgive the unpleasant appearance of my eye,” said Macron during a speech to the French Armed Forces on Thursday (15). “It is, of course, something completely harmless.” The British newspaper “The Guardian” states that the Frenchman has a spot on his eye due to a ruptured vein. In his speech, the French president defended Europe’s attempts to stop United States President Donald Trump’s attack on Greenland. “Europe may be slow, but we are predictable and have rules of law, which is an advantage nowadays”, he said. He also advocated for more investment in Europe from China. This report is being updated.
