10:48Now PlayingWorld News: French President Emmanuel Macron delivers a blunt assessment of the changing global order, warning that Europe can no longer rely on the United States as it once did. Speaking on the evolving dynamics between 'Trump 1st Term' and a potential 'Trump 2nd Term,' Macron stressed that the 'America First' doctrine is not a temporary shift but a long-term strategic direction in U.S. foreign policy.
“We are here to act,” Macron said, underscoring that European leaders must move beyond reacting to Washington’s decisions and instead take control of their own future. He noted that while President Trump may be “more explicit” or “more aggressive verbally,” the broader U.S. strategy has, for years, prioritized American interests over European ones—regardless of the administration.
Macron explained that Europe initially treated Trump’s first term as a phase to endure, hoping things would return to normal. “Many European countries were just looking at the Trump administration saying… it will finish. So let’s not change, we will resist,” he said. But that approach has now shifted. “Now… we have to react, we have to act as Europeans, to be more united, to defend our own interests—and for me this is the right reaction.”
He also highlighted a deeper geopolitical reality: the U.S. focus on domestic priorities and strategic competition with China has been consistent for over a decade. “It’s not just President Trump’s character… their strategies just don’t put European interests at the center,” Macron noted, calling for a more “lucid” understanding of global power shifts.
The French leader emphasized the need for Europe to accelerate independence, strengthen alliances beyond the U.S., and build new partnerships across regions including India and the Indo-Pacific. His message signals a major shift in transatlantic relations, as Europe looks to assert itself as a more autonomous global power in an increasingly multipolar world.
