Macron again called for the independence of Europe from America.
Referring to the complexities of the international system, the French president called for the independence of Europe from America.
In an interview with CNN, French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that the European Union should try to act more independently.
Referring to this issue, he said: It is very important for me that European countries, especially the European Union, become more independent. This is very useful for world order.
According to the French president, the greater autonomy of the European Union and the ability of Brussels to solve regional issues and problems more independently will be better for the United States.
Earlier, after returning from his trip to China in April, Macron called for the strategic independence of Europe from the United States of America. Statements that, of course, were criticized by some European officials.
Macron said Europe should reduce its dependence on the United States and avoid being drawn into the confrontation between China and the United States over Taiwan.
Continuing his interview with CNN, Macron added, “I want our citizens to become independent in the field of technology, defense, energy, and other aspects of modern life.” No one knows what will happen to the world, but if you depend on another nation, you can get into a complicated and dangerous situation.
The French president also emphasized that he does not want Europe to be caught in such a state of dependence. He said: So, as a European, I say that it is fair to fight for more autonomy.
