French President Emmanuel Macron has urged European nations to strengthen their independence from the United States, citing concerns over a potential shift in US foreign policy under Donald Trump. He described the change as an “electric shock”, emphasizing that Europe remains vulnerable in two key areas: security (relying on the US) and energy (dependent on Russia).
Macron’s statement reflects growing unease within the European Union about its strategic autonomy and the future of transatlantic relations. As Trump’s return looms, European leaders are reassessing their geopolitical stance to ensure stability and self-reliance.
