At the G7 Summit, Donald Trump's unusual statements are making headlines in the world press just as much as the official agenda of the leaders. Describing the story of his meeting with Egyptian President el-Sisi in front of cameras, Trump said, 'We met at the hotel and fell in love with each other. There was a great chemistry between us,' causing the audience to burst into laughter.
US President Donald Trump used striking language while describing his first meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Stating that they met at a hotel during the election campaign, Trump said, "We fell in love, there was great chemistry between us."
"WE DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER BEFORE THAT"
Trump, who stood side by side with Egyptian leader el-Sisi at the G7 Summit, explained how their friendship began in front of the cameras. Emphasizing that their relationship has been excellent from the start, Trump humorously recounted their first meeting:
"He was at the hotel, and I met him. We fell in love, a deep love... We didn't know each other before that. There was great chemistry between us. I stayed two hours longer than I needed to..."
"MY FAVORITE DICTATOR"
It was also noted that this was not the first time the US President had used unusual language about Sisi. In 2019, during the G7 Summit, Trump referred to the Egyptian leader, saying, "Where is my favorite dictator?" Those remarks, which caused a stir at the time, drew strong reactions from human rights organizations and opposition circles.
