“You just watch his team’s jaws drop to the floor,” Mr. Trudeau says at another point. None of the world leaders seem to realize that the conversation is being recorded. Mr. Trump was put on the defensive on Tuesday by Mr. Macron, who during a tense 45-minute appearance aggressively challenged the American president’s vision for NATO and his handling of a military conflict involving Turkey. For Mr. Trump, it was a rare face-to-face meeting with another world leader in which he was not driving the conversation. Mr. Trudeau participated in a more genial meeting with Mr. Trump later Tuesday.
