French President Emmanuel Macron said this week that the way for Europe to respond to President-elect Donald Trump's election victory is to become an "omnivore."

"For me, it's simple. The world is made up of herbivores and carnivores. If we decide to remain herbivores, then the carnivores will win and we will be a market for them," Macron said during a speech to European leaders, Politico reported.

"I think, at the very least, we should choose to become omnivores. I don't want to be aggressive, just that we know how to defend ourselves on all these subjects," Macron added.

Several U.S. ally leaders who have made highly critical comments about Donald Trump are now playing down their previous negative remarks as they rush to post messages of goodwill to the President-elect.

Trump won the U.S. election this week after promising his diplomatic policies would quickly end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. But multiple politicians around the world who now want Trump's support on these international issues have expressed potentially offensive opinions about him before, possibly never imagining they would one day have to work with him.

This includes several members of the left of center Labour Party in the U.K. who, up until this year, were out of office, and spoke freely against the conservative Republican leader from the government's opposition backbenches.

The U.K.'s new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, wrote in a 2018 article that Trump was a "neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath" and the year before that he wrote on X, which was still Twitter: "Yes, if Trump comes to the UK I will be out protesting on the streets. He is a racist KKK and Nazi sympathizer."
