Haiti's transitional presidential council expressed its "indignation at what it considers unfriendly and inappropriate remarks which ought to be rectified" after Macron's comments.
Macron described Haitians as having "destroyed Haiti by allowing drug trafficking" and criticized their decision to dismiss the former prime minister.
In a video, Macron stated, "They're completely stupid. They should never have dismissed him. The prime minister was great," referring to the former Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille.
The Haitian Foreign Ministry reported that the French ambassador found Macron's remarks to be "unfortunate," suggesting a recognition of the diplomatic sensitivity.
