Wednesday, 12 February, 2025 French President Emmanuel Macron, in an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump, said, "In this world, I have a good friend in the other part of the ocean saying, 'drill, baby, drill'." "Here there is no need to drill. It's 'plug, baby, plug'," Macron added. Trump's phrase represents his commitment to expanding oil and gas production in the US.
