For each president, Emmanuel Macron has offered a thinly-veiled critique of President Trump,
“saying the Ron War requires a "serious approach" and not one that changes every day.”
And Piers Eleanor Beardsley reports on the first time Macron has called out Trump so
directly. This is not a show. We are talking about war and peace and the lives of men and women, the French President told journalists upon arrival in South Korea for a state visit, referring to Trump's talk of leaving NATO, Macron said casting doubt on the defense alliance weakens and empties

listening to MPR news. May Ammar's recently elected Parliament has chosen the leader of the 2021 coup against the elected government as its new president, Michael Sullivan reports from neighboring Thailand. The senior general Minong Long seized power he promised a new election and a fresh start
with an year. It's taken five years for that election, and while the general resigned as its head, the military remains firmly in charge. The Parliament filled with its proxies, and 25% of the seats reserved for the military itself. Myanmar, meanwhile, remains mired in a brutal civil war between the military and those
who wish to see it out of politics for good. But war has left tens of thousands dead with millions displaced and even more hungry, with no end in sight. Minong Long has chosen another hardliner to replace him as the military's leader. For NPR news, I'm Michael Sullivan in Chiang Rai.
