Macron made the remarks on Tuesday during an interview with French broadcaster BFMTV on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. "I see a US president who is active, who wants peace... who wants the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump, in his own address to the General Assembly earlier on Tuesday, repeated his longstanding view that he should already have won the Nobel Peace Prize. He cited his record of having "ended seven un-endable wars" and said, "everyone said I should get the Nobel Peace Prize." Macron used his General Assembly speech to defend the United Nations, declaring that "more than ever" the world needs the UN's 'spirit of cooperation.'
