"As long as that little dictator is in power, I'm not going to the United States under any circumstances, not even for that," he declared, in an obvious allusion to Donald Trump. "I'll be there on Zoom, but there's no way I'm setting foot in that country that has declared war on us."

What an absolute hero.

He also said that he's not going to attend physically the ceremony because of Trump:

« Tant que le petit dictateur est au pouvoir, je ne vais aux États-Unis sous aucun prétexte, même pas pour ça, lance-t-il dans une allusion évidente à Donald Trump. Je vais être là sur Zoom, mais il est hors de question que je mette les pieds dans ce pays qui nous a déclaré la guerre. »
