“Europe must reduce its dependency on the United States and avoid getting dragged into a confrontation between China and the U.S. over Taiwan”
If only U.S. Presidents took the same America first stance when it comes to all the stuff France and the rest of the EU wants U.S. support on. Then I could take Macron’s position well. But seeing as how France and Germany want Ukraine defended against Putin, but the U.S. (and Poland) is doing more than they are in that regard, I sincerely question Macron’s motives. He seems to be trying a play the same spoiler card France has played vis a vis the U.S. since the end of WWII - acting as a major power which they are not.
