Macron: The Trump Administration Aims to Dismantle the European Union and Europe Faces a Critical Moment

Translation of SadaNews - President Emmanuel Macron stated that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump "clearly adopts an anti-Europe approach and seeks to dismantle the European Union."

In an interview with several media outlets, Macron emphasized the need for Europe to be prepared for more confrontations with the United States, calling for what he described as the "Greenland moment" to serve as a wake-up call that drives the European Union towards comprehensive reforms that strengthen its influence in the face of Washington and Beijing.

Macron added that the relative calm existing with the Trump administration should not be understood as a long-term change, emphasizing that this calm does not guarantee stability. He stated: "When there is clear aggressive action, we should not retreat or try to reach a compromise. We tried this strategy, and it did not work."

The French president noted that he expects more tensions with Washington, especially in light of European legislation regarding digital technologies, believing that Europe is facing a real test to establish its position on the international stage.
