In five posts sent on Tuesday after his visit to France, Trump had blasted the key US ally over its near defeat to Germany in two world wars, its wine industry and Macron's approval ratings.
"At every moment of our history, we were allies, so between allies, respect is due," Macron responded on Wednesday, citing French support for America's war of independence and US support during the two world wars.
"I don't think the French expect me to respond to tweets but to continue this important history," he told French channel TF1 in an interview on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.
Trump, who has promoted an "America First" policy, pointed to Macron's recent comments about Europe's need to protect itself, tweeting "it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the US came along. Pay for NATO or not!"

Charles DeGaulle is back from the dead apparently.
So, are freedom fries in again? :-D
France will always be there when they need us.
Has anyone claimed France is a “vassal state?”
French ‘support’ during both world wars?????? It was THEIR war, not ours.
The best thing the French did in WWII was to surrender, because had they not, the Soviets may have gotten the entire continent.
Cheese makers should just shut up and make cheese.
Macron’s assertion smacks of Nationalism!!!
“I don’t think the French expect me to respond to tweets but to continue this important history,”
Stinky little c-sucker forgets the dust up our first POTUS had with the French when they tried to get us involved in their back stabbing shenanigans.
Says the guy who wants to be a EU vassal state..................
“Respect is due” Speak for yourself, Macron.
I see what you did there...................
I seem to recall another Frenchman who wanted to unite Europe, what was his name, you know, that short guy?
Why was the French Foreign Legion so great?
There weren’t any Frenchmen in it...................
President Macron should ask those sailors how many aircraft carriers America has.
"Dear Ike, today I spat in the Seine."
They’ll be Germany’s ***** in the EU before long.
France is not an ally, and has not been for a very long time.
They could not even be considered reliable vassals.
