President Donald Trump reportedly has a "bizarre" interest in French President Emmanuel Macron and randomly calls him, leaving France's leader confused as to why Trump has reached out.
A former national security official told Politico that Trump wants to talk to Macron "constantly," sometimes calling him for no particular reason.
"Macron would be like: 'Hey what are we talking about?' These are very busy people. You don't just call to check in," the official said. "The standard is you don't have your principal call unless you're asking for something or trying to reward a behavior, either a carrot or a stick. You don't just randomly call."
A White House official claimed Macron requested a majority of the calls with Trump.
