President Macron

“In Afghanistan, we didn’t have the call before. And in the AUKUS deal in Australia, I didn’t have the call before. But it’s not a reproach – I try to be lucid.

The EU is not the priority of the US. And this is why part of the wake up call period of time we are are living in, and part of what we have to completely reshape, is our difference in security strategy.

We are part of NATO, no discussion. We are a strong ally of the US, no discussion. But we have to de-risk our model from the US agenda. This is why we have to invest much more for ourselves. We have to create much more European solutions. We have to preserve much more of our financing for European solutions. This is a top priority.” – President Macron
