French President Macron on 'terrible' call with Trump: Don't worry how the sausage is made

French President Emmanuel Macron deflected questions about a reportedly awkward call with US President Donald Trump with a reference to Otto Von Bismarck's famous quip about the making of sausages.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump held a reportedly "terrible" phone call on Friday.
  • Macron was asked about the awkward call during a press conference.
  • Macron deflected the question by referencing Otto Von Bismarck's famous quote comparing making laws to making sausages.
  • "As Bismarck used to say, if we explained to people how sausages were made, it’s unlikely they’d keep eating them," Macron said.

French President Emmanuel Macron employed a bit of culinary humor to deflect questions about a tense call with US President Donald Trump.

According to a CNN report, White House staffers described Macron's call with Trump las week as "terrible," as the conversation turned to the recent decision by the US president to impose steel and aluminum tariffs on imports from the European Union.

Asked about the call during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Macron referenced the famous, if apocryphal, missive on the lawmaking process from 19th century Prussian leader Otto Von Bismarck.
