US President Donald Trump, on the Truth Social social network, praised Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka on Wednesday for his sharp clash with former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Macinka got into a heated debate with Clinton during the weekend's Munich Security Conference, where he presented criticism of the green revolution and discussions on gender equality. In his post, Trump praised the Czech minister for doing a "great job" and sent greetings to the Czech nation.
Minister Macinka's appearance also became the focus of attention in the media of the Czech Republic. Some political scientists point out that Trump's public praise could bring Macinka positive points in domestic politics as well, particularly in relation to his position within the government. According to analyses, it could also help in his relationship with Andrej Babiš. Nevertheless, part of the Czech public and politicians, including some opponents of Macinka's positions, point to argumentative weaknesses in his debate. Critics call some of his arguments a "common foul" in the discussion.
Macinka also published a commentary in the American daily New York Post, in which he proposed seven points for saving the West. While Trump's praise represents a diplomatic success, it also provoked a skeptical reaction in the Czech Republic, given that, according to polls, most of the Czech public does not trust Trump, even among voters of the Motorists party.
