"That would be chic!" Macron said on X, sharing a video of the British monarch's comments.
Addressing Donald Trump at the White House, King Charles said, "You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it were not for us, you'd be speaking French?"
