Macron at the Davos forum: “We are moving towards a world without rules, the US wants to subjugate Europe”

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The main theme of the speech was the changing world order. He sharply criticized US President Donald Trump.

He began by declaring that we live in an era of peace, stability and predictability.” Predictably, this caused laughter in the room. “We are in a state of instability – both from a security and an economic point of view. We are moving towards autocracy, a world without rules,” Macron continued.

“Conflict has become the norm. Imperial ambitions and the rule of the strongest have resurfaced. Cooperation is giving way to competition,” the French leader said.

The trade agreements imposed by America undermine our interests and require maximum concessions. It is not hidden that their goal is to weaken Europe and subjugate it. Tariffs are used as a lever of pressure on sovereignty. This is fundamentally unacceptable,” he stressed.

Macron said: France and Europe as a whole are committed to the principles of national sovereignty and independence. He warned of the dangers of forgetting the lessons of World War II and expressed support for Denmark. Let us recall that Greenland, which is claimed by the United States, is its autonomous territory.
