French leader Emmanuel Macron has dramatically changed his stance on US President Donald Trump and the US in general. The head of state has effectively called on countries to join forces and confront the US and China.
Points of attention
- Macron stated that free countries should not become vassals of two hegemonic powers.
- He added that the US's behavior is currently difficult to predict.
Macron is rallying world leaders around him
As journalists learned, during recent talks, the French president discussed security issues in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as strengthening relations with South Korea and Japan.
What is important to understand is that these are the countries that are suffering from rising energy prices amid the war in Iran.
Our goal is not to be vassals of two hegemonic powers. We do not want to be dependent on the dominance of, say, China, or we do not want to be too vulnerable to the unpredictability of the United States.

According to him, the European Union already has a joint action program with Japan and South Korea.
They reached agreement in the areas of international law, democracy, climate change, and global health.
Australia, Brazil, Canada, and India have already expressed their willingness to support Macron's plan.
According to the French leader, such a coalition could work on artificial intelligence, space, nuclear energy, defense, security and "anything."
