U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his appreciation for Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka following a heated exchange with former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the Munich Security Conference. Trump highlighted Macinka's capability during the panel discussion, indicating that he performed exceptionally well in addressing contentious topics such as gender issues and climate change, areas where Macinka openly disagreed with Clinton.

The debate, which took place on February 14, was part of a public program that concluded the Munich Security Conference. In a post on Truth Social, Trump effusively praised Macinka's stance and encouraged him to convey his regards to his homeland. The segment of the debate included Macinka's critique of what he termed the "gender revolution" and "climate alarmism," moments during which Clinton interjected her disagreement, demonstrating the sharp ideological divide between the two speakers.

The public acknowledgment from Trump not only highlights the ongoing collaboration and engagement between the Czech Republic and the United States but also showcases the rising prominence of global conversations around gender and climate policy as contentious issues. Macinka's participation and Trump's endorsement may bolster his profile internationally while enhancing discussions within Czech political circles regarding these significant themes.
