Macron Calls for New European Alliance

Europe needs to form a new military coalition separate from nato, French President Emmanuel Macron said at the annual Paris Conference on Monday.

The new army he envisions would likely include countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the Baltic states.

There’s a lot to believe that the United States will have its own defense and the American defense will more concern the China seas than the confines of Europe. If we solely rely on the American technological base, we are in for sore disappointments, and we cannot rely on the rest of the world. We have to build our own capabilities.

We’ve started doing this with our European friends … but we need more ambition and we need a clear European preference in our programs. We need to go much further on the European scale …. This has got to be a place of defense cooperation because this is European-wide. It is definitely not the same message, the same vocabulary as nato.
—Emmanuel Macron

Trans-Atlantic rift: This comes as tensions increase between the U.S. and Europe and as America’s commitment to nato is in question. “You need to understand that if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you and to support you,” French Commissioner Thierry Breton recounted Donald Trump saying in 2020.

More recently, Trump has suggested a takeover of Greenland, a move which France declared “out of the question” and said it would not allow.
