Macron's statements that he does not rule out sending troops to Ukraine have "angered American officials". Bloomberg writes about it, citing sources.

"The ambiguous comment about 'boots on the ground' caused an immediate and very public rebuke from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and angered American officials, who privately say such a move could even provoke a clash with Moscow," the publication reports. 

It also writes that because of the Ukrainian issue, "Macron wants to lead Europe's foreign policy," but "not everyone agrees with this." 

"His hawkish approach has angered some allies who intend to increase aid to Ukraine (without direct involvement in the conflict)," the article says. 

Bloomberg points out that the French president's statements "were not very smart" also because "specialists from many countries are in Ukraine."
