French president Emanuel Macron told The Economist that he has warned European countries that they can no longer rely on America to defend NATO allies.
Said Macron: “What we are currently experiencing is the brain death of NATO.”
He said that Europe stands on “the edge of a precipice” and needs to start thinking of itself strategically as a geopolitical power; otherwise we will “no longer be in control of our destiny.”
