According to a report, Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, said over the weekend that the European Union (EU) does not want to get involved in problems that are not theirs. He also claimed that he was determined to reduce Europe’s reliance on the United States in order to prevent Europe from being embroiled in a fight between the United States and China.
The words were a big blow to the Biden administration, and they were reported by Politico, which made a strange statement about its conversation with the French President. Previously, Politico said that international partners would react badly to a Trump presidency, but the most serious foreign policy difficulties have come up under Biden.
