French President Emmanuel Macron extended an invitation to U.S. President Donald Trump for a G7 meeting in Paris, raising eyebrows with his mention of Greenland. Macron shared his puzzlement over Trump's interest in Greenland in a message that Trump posted publicly on Truth Social, calling it a note from Macron.

The messages also indicated Macron's willingness to include the Ukrainians, Danes, Syrians, and Russians on the fringes of the G7 gathering, and he extended a dinner invitation to Trump in Paris. The response from Trump, if any, was absent from the screenshot, and neither the White House nor Macron's office provided comments when asked.

A source confirmed the authenticity of Macron's text. Meanwhile, EU leaders plan to meet in Brussels for an emergency summit amidst Trump's tariff threats on European nations linked to his Greenland acquisition plans.
