["Donald Dedede" US media revealed that Macron often has informal calls with Trump, and even drawls out the sound when calling each other's name] The US "Politics" news network reported on July 28 that sources revealed that in order to maintain a good relationship with US President Trump, French President Macron and other national leaders often call or text Trump because Trump is keen on frequent and informal "chatting". According to reports, Trump surprised many leaders during his first term. He took the initiative to tell them his mobile phone number and urged them to abandon conventional diplomatic etiquette and call him directly. In the six months after the start of his second term, leaders of various countries who wanted to maintain a good relationship with Trump often called or texted him, sometimes to discuss important international affairs, and sometimes just to "chat". A person familiar with Trump's calls said, "He calls many leaders more frequently than people think. Many calls are about specific and practical matters, but there are also more informal personal conversations." These leaders include French President Macron, British Prime Minister Starmer and others. Politico said that although the informality of these conversations was not much different from the impromptu style that Trump often displayed in public, it still surprised the assistants on the other end of the phone. A person familiar with the conversation between Trump and Macron recalled that the two greeted each other in a "brotherly" manner. He said, "The scene of the two people talking on the phone was quite comedic - Trump would say 'Emmanuel er er er' in a long tone, and Macron would reply 'Donald de de de', and the two interacted like this."
