An outstretched hand. Emmanuel Macron renewed this Monday his desire to work with President-elect Donald Trump. The new American president, who is to be inaugurated on January 20, “knows that he has a solid ally in France, an ally whom he does not disesteem”, “who believes in Europe” and has a “lucid ambition” for the transatlantic relationship, the French president declared this Monday.
“From 2016 to 2020, France knew how to work with President Trump,” underlined the head of state before the populist tribune’s return to the White House. “If we decide to be weak and defeatist, there is little chance of being respected by the United States of America of President Trump”, “it is up to us to know how to cooperate with the choice that was made by the people American,” he added during the annual meeting of French ambassadors.
