it is macron's style of diplomacy when dealing directly with trump. it's also moon's. it's also the same style some US business leaders adopted when high 5ing themselves for handing out minuscule employee bonuses due to trump's corporate welfare tax bill.

many leaders realize that praising the president reaps benefits.

if i were to fathom a guess, i would bet moon is praising trump to try to make sure trump does not blow up the moon un deal.
