French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a speech at the Sorbonne outlining his vision for Europe, emphasizing the need for stronger European defenses and independence from the US. Macron warned of the EU facing a 'mortal' threat from economic decline and rising illiberalism, particularly due to Russia's actions. He called for more European integration but faces challenges in inspiring voters at home and uniting Europe behind French leadership. Macron's speech highlighted the fragility of Europe in a darker world and the necessity for the EU to engage globally and assert its independence.
“The US has 2 priorities, the US first, & that’s legitimate, and then the question of China. Europe will not be a geopolitical priority for the years to come, however strong our alliance.” Europe has taken US support for granted. Why would a diminishing Europe remain a priority? https://t.co/2QjL9RbYxo
