Macron commented on Trump's victory in the US elections
According to the President of France, the return of Donald Trump to the White House is a "moment of history" for all of Europe.
Emmanuel Macron also reminded that the leader of the Republicans was elected by the American people, so it is logical that he will first of all protect the interests of the Americans.
And it's legal, and it's good. The question is whether we are ready to protect the interests of Europeans... I think that is our priority.

According to the French leader, this is a decisive moment in history "for us as Europeans."
Macron calls on the EU to stop relying only on the US
Essentially, the question we have to answer is do we want to read a story written by others? The wars started by Vladimir Putin, the US elections, the technological and trade choices made by the Chinese, do we want to write our own history? asked the French president.
According to Emmanuel Macron, the countries of the European Union should finally start writing their own history.
In addition, he called to "act and protect" the national, economic and strategic interests of Europe.
EU countries should think "like an independent state" and take back control by stopping delegating protection to the US.
