A leaked private message has pushed the relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron toward a "divorce phase," analysts say.
The shift follows Trump's online publication of what he called a private message from Macron. The move broke diplomatic norms around confidential communications between leaders.
Tensions have grown in recent weeks over Trump's repeated vow to buy Greenland. The autonomous Danish territory has rejected the idea, with strong backing from European allies like France.
This Greenland dispute "tipped the balance," according to FRANCE 24 analysis. It marks a stark change for the two leaders, whose relationship was once described as a close personal "bromance."
