Come on, you cannot have a trade war with China and Europe at the same time,” Macron tells Fox News in an interview.

French President Emmanuel Macron met with United States President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday to urge security guarantees for Ukraine. The week prior, Trump placed into question U.S. involvement in the conflict and called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dictator without elections.”

Trump's rhetoric at the time sparked a major debate over the future of European security. Macron, who also took office in 2017, began to propose the formation of a "true European army" as an alternative to NATO and famously warned of the "brain death" of the alliance in 2019.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he wants the European Union to boost its military autonomy and alleviate reliance on the US over the next five to 10 years — responding to a long-running demand from Washington.

French president, Emmanuel Macron, has been praised for grabbing Donald Trump’s arm and interrupting him mid-interview to correct his false Ukraine claims.
