Macron on Trump's victory: "As Europeans, we must question whether we are ready to safeguard European interests."
French President Emmanuel Macron responded to Donald Trump’s victory by saying, "Donald Trump was chosen by Americans to protect American interests. The question we, as Europeans, need to consider is whether we are ready to defend European interests."
With Macron losing the trust of the French populace, we can only hope that it is the citizens of Europe who rise to safeguard their own interests—rather than Macron, Scholz, or other EU leaders, who appear more concerned with their personal agendas than with those of the European people.
