Macron Calls for Global Unity Against US and Chinese Dominance
French President Emmanuel Macron is advocating for global nations to pursue strategic autonomy and avoid dependence on either the United States or China. He believes that countries with shared interests, such as Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and India, can collaborate on critical issues like artificial intelligence, space, energy, and defense. Macron’s call for an independent Europe, previously met with criticism, now resonates more as the US appears to be disengaging from international institutions, while also facing renewed pressure from US President Donald Trump regarding allied contributions and military actions.
