French President Macron warns of renewed tensions with the US under Trump

French President Emmanuel Macron has been speaking publicly about the potential for renewed friction between Europe and the United States if Donald Trump returns to the White House. Macron said the strategy of Europe 'bowing down' to the US does not work, and he believes Trump wants to 'dismember' the European Union.

Macron is urging the European Union to use this period of uncertainty to push through reforms and become more strategically independent. He cited ongoing tensions over places like Greenland and technology policy as examples of issues that are 'far from over.'
