'America, with this president, is not our ally. Trump is a liar': French MEP Bernard Guetta

Summary
In a France 24 interview issued October 16, 2026, French journalist and European Parliament member Bernard Guetta criticized Donald Trump’s statements about Ukraine and energy prices. Guetta alleged that Trump, rather than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky or Ukraine’s resistance, was responsible for diesel-price pressures because he had started a war with Iran. He also said that reduced U.S. intelligence sharing was weakening Ukraine and accused Trump of assisting Russian President Vladimir Putin. The excerpt provides Guetta’s assertions but no independent confirmation or response from the parties mentioned.

Biblical Context
War, international conflict, and the conduct of rulers are subjects Scripture addresses directly, even though the segment itself is political commentary and does not establish that any biblical prophecy is being fulfilled. Jesus warned that believers would hear of “wars and rumors of wars” and described conflict among nations as part of the troubled conditions preceding the end, while also cautioning against treating every war report as proof that the end had arrived (Matthew 24:6–7). That passage provides a relevant framework for taking the reported tensions seriously without making an unwarranted prophetic claim. Government responsibility is also relevant. Romans 13:1–4 describes governing authorities as accountable to God for the use of public power and for restraining wrongdoing. The passage does not settle whether the allegations against Trump are true, nor does it endorse any particular foreign-policy decision, but it supports examining claims about presidential decisions, military action, and state power in terms of authority and accountability. Isaiah 10:1–3 condemns rulers who enact unjust decrees and warns that they will answer for the harm they cause. Its original context concerns oppressive judgment in Israel, so applying it to contemporary leaders is a principled comparison rather than a direct identification of the people or events in the passage. It nevertheless underscores why allegations that a ruler caused war or misrepresented responsibility should be evaluated carefully and morally, rather than merely as partisan rhetoric. None of these passages identifies the reported Iran, Ukraine, or Russia claims as a specific prophetic fulfillment.
Biblical Sources
Scripture references supporting the biblical context above.
The passage condemns rulers who use authority to impose unjust decisions and warns of accountability. Its original setting is different, so the connection to modern allegations about a political leader is an interpretive moral comparison rather than a direct prophetic identification.
Jesus refers to reports of wars and conflicts among nations, making this a direct biblical context for the segment’s claims about war and international tension. The passage also cautions against assuming that every conflict proves the immediate arrival of the end.
Paul presents governing authority as accountable to God and responsible for the use of public power. This materially relates to claims about presidential decisions, military action, and responsibility for national conduct, without determining whether the allegations are true.
