Macron: EU’s security must no longer depend on US

The security of the European Union must no longer depend on the US, French President Emmanuel Macron has said.

Europe can “no longer” entrust its security to the US alone, the French president said, speaking at the annual French ambassadors’ conference at the Elysee Palace in Paris.

“It is up to us today to take responsibility and guarantee [the EU’s] security and, therefore, EU sovereignty,” he added.
