In a recent interview with several European media outlets, including Financial Times and Le Monde, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his concerns over the ongoing threats and intimidation from the United States, particularly under the Trump administration. He labeled these actions as a 'blatant hostility towards Europe' and suggested that the U.S. seeks to dismantle the European Union, urging European leaders to implement changes that would strengthen the EU's economic resilience against both Washington and Beijing.

Macron cautioned that the recent lull in American threats towards its European allies should not be mistaken for a permanent shift in U.S. policy. He referred to this period as a 'Greenland moment,' indicating that while there may be temporary reductions in hostility, the fundamental risks and aggressive posturing from the U.S. remain ever-present. He specifically noted ongoing threats targeting critical sectors such as pharmaceuticals and digital technology, highlighting that the European Union must remain vigilant.

The French President acknowledged the complex relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump, emphasizing that when faced with aggressive actions, the response must also be robust. He called on European leaders to unify and take decisive actions to enhance the EU’s standing on the global stage, making it clear that complacency in the face of U.S. aggression could have grave implications for Europe’s future security and unity.
