Former French President critiques Trump's alliance with Europe
Former French President François Hollande criticized President Donald Trump, stating that the U.S. administration is "no longer" an ally of Europe. He suggested a potential "divorce" between the U.S. and Europe due to Trump's actions and views. Hollande pointed out Trump's focus on Russia and China, claiming that Europe is not a priority for him. He cited Trump's comments about Ukraine and his willingness to engage with Russia as reasons for this shift in relations. Despite Hollande's remarks, Trump recently met with current French President Emmanuel Macron, emphasizing the importance of U.S.-France relations and progress in addressing the war in Ukraine. Macron expressed Europe's commitment to enhancing its defense and security efforts.
