French Govt Refutes Noem's Claim of Canceled Macron Meeting in 'No Going Back'

May 12, 2024, 12:19 PM

The French government has publicly disputed claims made by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem in her book 'No Going Back' regarding a supposed canceled meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. Multiple sources, including representatives from the Élysée Palace, have confirmed that there was no record of such a meeting being scheduled, nor was there an invitation extended to Governor Noem. This controversy has sparked significant attention and criticism, particularly as Noem's book, described by critics as more fiction than autobiography, portrays this incident as a deliberate cancellation on her part.
