U.S. President Donald Trump poked fun at French President Emmanuel Macron’s choice to wear sunglasses due to an eye health problem when he spoke at the World Economic Forum.
“I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses. What the hell happened?” Trump said during his speech at the Davos summit.
French officials said Macron has a burst blood vessel in his eye. He has appeared in public in aviator sunglasses in recent days.
While addressing troops at a military event this month, he downplayed the “unsightly” condition and said it was “totally benign.”
The look has been much-discussed on social media, and Macron himself has joked about it, calling it “the eye of the tiger.”
Trump also used his speech to recount an exchange with Macron in which he recounted pressuring the French president to raise prescription drug prices under threat of hefty tariffs.
“No, no, Donald, I will do it. I will do it,” Trump said, mimicking Macron.
