"In the past, Europe used to buy its energy and fertilizers from Russia, outsourced its production to China, and delegated its security to the United States of America," he said. Positive steps have been taken in recent years, he noted, but he nevertheless warned that "we are not at such a scale yet."
His main concerns are the war in Ukraine and its implications for Europe's defense and security, as well as the ability of European industrial and technological actors to survive in the face of what he described as "excessive subsidization" of their economies by the United States and China.
To address the new geopolitical landscape, the French president believes that a "credible defense of the European continent" must be built.
"Europe must know how to defend what is dear to it with its allies whenever they are ready to do so alongside us, and alone if necessary."
"The United States of America has two priorities: first, the United States of America, which is legitimate, and second, China. And the European question does not constitute a geopolitical priority for the years and decades to come, regardless of the strength of our alliance."
Designating Russia as the main threat to the EU, the French president proposes that work on a "European defense initiative" begin within a few months, initially as a "strategic concept" from which the "relevant capabilities" will then be put in place.
To achieve this, Emmanuel Macron insists that the European defense industry must "produce faster, in an increasingly European manner." He reiterates his position, advocated in recent months with European partners, that this increase in investments could be financed by an increase in EU debt. He also emphasizes his desire for a “European preference” in the purchase of military equipment.
"to demonstrate that it (the EU) is never a vassal of the United States and that it also knows how to address all regions of the world: emerging countries, Africa, Latin America"
