What a weird thing to say. Trump has literally done nothing for freedom. He has only endangered it on a global scale.
Oh for!...I thought you said against. Yup, you're right.
I mean he's now the defacto leader of the free world.
In my mind he deserves that and so much more.
If you read the article, they also did the same for Trump.
If you had read the article, you would know that no, they did not.
Arcane rules dictated that world leaders be seated in alphabetical order according to the name of their country in French – the traditional language of diplomacy when the protocols were made.
The name for the United States in French is Les États-Unis d’Amérique. Meaning the US president would sit right at the front.
They didn't, alphabetical order in French is the protocol in question. The USA's name in French is États-Unis, putting it much earlier in the alphabet than it would be in English. Since France and Finland (both still start with F in French) were in the front row, we know that États-Unis would be too
Why does it go by French names rather than Latin or even Italian?
Because french was historically the language of diplomacy back when the rules were made. This is also mentioned in the article.
Pah! Who has time to read articles? Where's my AI summary? /s
Because it’s the lingua franca of the world.
