In light of the White House's recent comments on Ukraine, European countries need to reconsider their role in the world, French President Emmanuel Macron told the Financial Times.
„Trump is telling Europe that we must now take responsibility for ourselves. I think that's exactly what we need to do,“ the French president said.
He added that he was not surprised by Trump's latest actions. According to Macron, the US leader's decisions give Europe room to maneuver.
„It's like an electric shock. We need a shake-up, both from the outside and from within. It will be a big shock for Europeans,“ he said.
