Foreign media: "one chair" triggers controversy, leader of a French political party demands "Macron to resign".

According to reports from foreign media such as the UK's Metro and Russia's Kommersant, on the 26th local time, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the French "Renaissance de la France" party, posted on social media X that President Macron should resign. The incident was triggered by an issue involving "one chair" during Pope Francis' funeral held at the Vatican.

Kommersant reported that in the video shared by Dupont-Aignan, it can be seen that before the start of the funeral, Macron met with US President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. Initially, there were three chairs set up in the meeting hall, but later it was shown that Trump and Zelensky had a one-on-one meeting, and Macron's chair was not beside them.

The British media also reported that initially, three chairs were prepared in the hall. When Trump and Zelensky sat down, another chair was quickly removed. It is unclear whether the third chair was intended for someone else or why it was not used. However, officials eventually guided Trump and Zelensky into a one-on-one meeting.

The British media said that just minutes earlier, Trump had an "awkward" meeting with Macron. At that time, when Macron saw Zelensky, he warmly embraced and shook hands with him, leaving Trump's extended hand unattended.

Kommersant analysis suggests that Dupont-Aignan's post implies that Trump "dismissed" the French leader like a servant at the last moment, which has "humiliated" France.

"He must resign, we should hold early presidential elections," Dupont-Aignan said.

According to reports from Italy's ANSA News Agency on the 26th, US President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky held a brief meeting in Vatican City that day to discuss the unconditional ceasefire of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A White House spokesperson said that the two leaders had a "constructive" conversation. Zelensky said on social media that he had a one-on-one meeting with Trump to discuss "comprehensive and unconditional" ceasefire to achieve reliable and lasting peace.
