Donald Trump is facing total mockery after claiming victory at a venue that for more than a century has symbolized national defeat.
The president signed a 14-point memorandum intended to wind down the war he launched against Iran. Trump, 80, put pen to paper Wednesday at the G7 summit in France, at a dinner hosted by President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles.
The historic Treaty of Versailles, signed at the palace in 1919, formally ended World War I by imposing a punitive peace on Germany. The country’s resulting loss of territories and reparations to the victors led to economic conditions so dire that historians broadly agree the treaty was a driving force in the rise of Nazism and, later, the outbreak of World War II.
