Macron with Trump: France, Macron, Trump – Obvious Aggression

At the same time, he believes the EU should introduce economic reforms and strengthen the union.

The dispute over Greenland should be a wake-up call, says Macron in interviews with several European newspapers. At the same time, he warns against believing that the reduced tension in that conflict and arguments about trade and technology imply a lasting improvement in the relationship.

– When there is obvious aggression, I think we must not give in and try to reach a settlement. We have tried that strategy for several months, and it does not work, says the French president to, among other things The World and Financial Times.

Macron says the Trump administration is “openly anti-European” and wants to destroy the EU. He believes Europe should steel itself for new confrontations.

– In the coming months, the US is going to attack us when it comes to digital regulation, that’s for sure, says Macron.

The French leader also reiterated his desire for joint borrowing in the EU, for example through so-called Eurobonds. Macron believes it will enable the EU to invest on a large scale and challenge the hegemony of the US dollar. It has traditionally been long overdue to establish debt at EU level, but an exception was made to finance the Union’s gigantic recovery package in the wake of the pandemic.
