The EU and US have strong bonds and a shared history. But Monsieur Macron says what many Europeans are thinking. We need to strengthen ourselves and not rely as much on the US for trade and defence cooperations. US foreign policy has changed rapidly after Trump was inaugurated. Defence cooperations has turned into invasion threats over night. We need to adapt to this new reality.
👍
The days when Europe and US have strong bonds are gone. The Americans have only themselves to blame.
Yes! Look at how Trump is treating Canada. Carelessly hurting so many lives on both sides of the border. Protect your borders and sovereignty. He is coming for Canada, Panama, Greenland, Mexico (maybe) and the Arctic region.
@@Swedishpolymathnah, Europe has been freeloading for too long on defense and trade
@@didixtar2863 Freeloading? We literally keep alive US defence industry since we buy almost all our weapons from US.
This is one thing about France I love so much ❤❤❤ they don't take nonsense.
Ya but then what, have you read your history. This is the beginning of the end for European Union as it is today.
@@thucydd oh no the west has fallen
But they do take immigrants
@@thucyddNo, it's the begining of a deep reform in the EU into a new sovereign Europe independent from the oppression and extortion of the USA.
macron is so intellegent, its good if EU have its own military as one, integrate europe better, help local companies to expand european union wide to provide jobs, manufacture all car parts in EU, Standardize all car battery that people only needs to swap, than waiting long to recharge - standardization should start from here, not elon, compete starlink because elon cant be trusted
We need to put our Europe first. We are with 440 million people. Bigger then the us. Let us get stronger together. Without the extremists!
Yes, why have you waited so long to decide that Europe has to stand on its own rather than riding on US Taxpayer funding and US Military Support?

Denmark should cancel their F35 order and switch to a European fighter. They have a good choice with Eurofighter, French Rafalle or Sweden's Gripen. And to drive home the loss of the order call it the Trump cancellation.
I'd say both Raphale and Griphen. Having a bit from everything, helps.
Not only Denmark. F-35 has been bought also by Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Finland, Norway, Greece, Italy, Czech Republic, etc This is insane...

France itself bullied Spain and Germany when they wanted to introduce a gas pipeline to replace Russian gas and denied it, only so that Spain and Germany have to buy energy from France...
European defense companies first.
MAKRON for 10 years his ASKING ALL EUROPEANS COUNTRYS TO UNITED EUROPES ARMYS. HE HAS BOLLS. VIVA FRANCE + EUROPE.
In France we want Macron to leave as he put the country into a 1 Trillion more, debt and loves multibillionaires only.
However, the French society is the one that wants a suddenly UNITED EUROPE because it's the only way.
@@oosidewalkoo united europe so we cant be bully as fck. however needs more integration, help local companies to grow eurowide promoting jobs not only locally but eu level - so it can expand continiously around the globe
@@oosidewalkoo I am sorry but french people don't know what they want and their voting showcased that, because the only coalition that wants to maintain and lower the national debt was Macron's party, the rest wants to openly increase borrowing and neither of the left or the right had a good answer om how that is not going to get off hands. I am not a huge Macron fan nor I think he is in a position to lower the debt as he wants but most french cannot agree on what they want and what they vote.
The same and worst happened in the European elections where every french person says that they want industry and french production to go up and the only party that does support that, renew Europe tanked.
We do want production and all. We just don't want crooks. Macron unified em all in Renew. That's why we hate them: they're liars. Most of those who wants him out stopped voting and would gladly do something more historical and radical to him and his crooks.
But they can't bring some justice AND work to pay the bills at the same time. So they endure and endure. In silence.
I mean, in this video you just see Macron taking credit for Costa's initiative...but sure, whatever
BUY EUROPEAN!!!!!
Cancel all Lockheed Martin orders and buy Grippen, Eurofighter and Rafale instead. Then let's develop European equivalents in other industries.
With friends like you who needs enemies? Trump is a bump in the road, yes he sucks but grow some balls and deal with it, it'll soon be over.
@WSEDT-re6mn Sure, we need energy for our factories. That is why the Danish have recently agreed with Gazprom, the monster Russians, to perform "maintenance and conservation work" on the sabotaged Nordstream pipeline. Get some good information first, sir
Yes do it! Love, Canada
Absolutely.
Good on you Monsieur Macron we must not let Trump, America dictate too us we believe in free speech free trade and freedom of choice
E bine pentru voi , dar pentru noi în România nu...își baga nasul în politica noastră, ne comanda conducerea și ne anulează alegerile....pentru noi e un mare gunoi !!!
That is what Americans want. By your tone you sound angry. We want reciprocal trade, and for you to take care of yourself. You don't have to be angry.
@@thucydd Sunt supărată pe Macron
Angry ? thats not angry for me, good France and Macron. We stand by our values in Eu.
Fair trade, no?
I don't always agree with President Macron but, in these dark times, his voice shines out. Europe does need to take what is going on transatlantic, and also from Russia, as wake up calls. I would perhaps broaden from Europe, to other allies around the world. Staunch EUer as I am, diversification is key but, indeed, Europe first.
Macron save Europe please! United and in solidarity we stand!
Not Macron. But France 🇫🇷 can do it. Only if Germany's willing to do so as well. And an UK that would choose *Unity* instead of very-ugly (literally) beings like Nigel Farage.
Totally agree. France, stand and lead Europe. And those EU countries pro US or pro Russia: exit the EU
@
Buddy, that's exactly what Russia would want. The more that exit the EU, the better for them to invade Europe countries. How old are you, kid ?
@@oosidewalkooGermany is a colony of the USA under military occupation because Germany was allowed to be greedy for far too long. It backfired spectacularly and they're now opening their eyes to the fact that being bffs with Murica is destructive. Their addiction to war is what screwed their economy.

Franchement je n'ai jamais été un fan de Monsieur Macron. Mais en ce temps tendu et dangereux, il faut dire que c'est le seul à avoir les c.....lles de résister et de dire à voix haute et d'un ton ferme ce que tout le monde devrait dire. Bravo Monsieur le président! L'insurrection est le plus sacré des devoirs! Vive la France
We hope to get somewhere , because Germany as always can't be trusted.
@@MKSense1
True. Germany been betraying all of Europe just for their own "failed" interests ever since 2007 with "BUT DIESEL IT'S THE BEST !!!!!"
Never forget they were the ones to start 3 of the bloodiest wars in Europe

Germany is a american colony under military occupation and they enjoy to be Murica's b...ch because money 🤑
Ursula van Stupideyen and Ruttraitor need to go
Contrairement à +50% des Français, moi et beaucoup de Belges ont toujours été positif sur Macron. Il a une vision claire sur la future de l'Europe. (pardon my french - I'm Flemish)
@rikvanbrugge Your French is ok ☺. Sometimes we need bad times to see a persons true colors. I absolutely changed my mind about him.
Je ne pensais jamais être un jour d'accord avec Macron, mais là, il a raison.
L'UE est beaucoup plus forte qu'elle ne le pense. Soyez conscient de votre force.
Vous étiez déjà là avant l'avènement du nouveau monde, alors ne vous faites pas marcher dessus par les USA. Un peu de dignité les gars. La peur doit changer de camp.
United we are strong, separated we are weak.
European Federation now!
We all people have the responsibility to buy European products!!
Geography has made Canada and the U.S. neighbours, but our bond to Europe is strong. In today's day and age, we should strengthen our economic and military interdependence.
Agree with everything he said. Only can we include Canada? And may be Australia, they are already in the Eurovision Song Contest. And with little effort New Zealand as well? We can call it the Rational Thinking Union.
Would be cool but only if they themselves want it ofc
Be welcome, great denominator idea. Technically you are not that far from France and its overseas territories.
Canada should just join the EU. Being so vulnerable to the whims of Murica that now has gone rogue is weakening your stance in the world.
Just join the EU. Let this Union go transcontinental.
If they agree that would be great. Even Mexico, I really appreciate the Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum.
I'm not familiar with what Canadians think, but I can assume they often feel more closely related to Europe than to their brutal neighbour.
For once I agree with Mr. Macron.
We still needs leaders worth of leading the EU in this turbolent timesm
Je suis avec la France! It is my hope to move there as soon as possible.
C'est plus la France c'est une future république islamiste.....une colonie du magrebh
Invites-nous, le Canada, a vous rejoindre ! Nous pouvons remplacer la Russie pour tous vos besoins! Et plus même. Meme langues et meme valeurs. Et même démocratie! Et maintenant que nous partageons deux frontières avec des pays européens (le Danemark et La France ) cela est logique! Nous vous avons épaulé pendant deux guerres, et bien je pense que nous avons prouvé notre mérite.
Macron, this is what I needed to hear today. Greetings from Germany. God bless Europe
Go Europe Go .. Un ami Canadien !
Show 'em how it's done EU! Much love from Canada~
Thank you mr .President !
No wonder we chased you in West Africa 😅😅😅
@@hubert19831West Africa is a poverty-stricken 💩hole being recolonized by China.
Nous avons besoin d’une Europe fédérale unie, prête à se défendre et à défendre ses intérêts. Nous sommes résilients grâce à notre diversité et nous serons forts grâce à notre unité.
We need a federal and united Europe that is willing to defend itself and its interests. We are resilient because of our diversity and will be strong due to our unity!
As French living in Canada. Thank you Macron to put your pants on
La seule et unique raison pour laquelle cet homme peut être appréciable : un.e des rares responsables politiques européen.ne.s à sincèrement désirer une Europe indépendante et unie, depuis toujours.
I don't usually like Macron but on this I agree with him entirely. It's good to hear that he is also re-iterating von der Leyen's statements. The EU needs to speak with one voice for a change - I just hope Hungary and Italy don't scupper everything - they have a tendency to brown-nose the US....
hungary and slovakia are the EU problems, italy just dont wants more problems than we already have
Hungary only brown-noses far-right governments, such as Trump's, while also sucking up to Putin...
Europe should just defend itself instead of waiting on the us
the US should just leave europe alone because when de gaulle tried this exact thing the cia supported a an attempted coup d'etat. Let's not talk about when the US supported nazis in 1942 because they didn't support de gaulle for his views on independence
What ever we think about France and Macron we should objectively agree that since the beginning he is expressing unified view about what should be EU defense policies. Including UK population and spending The EU is spending around 380 Billion euro per year in defense, let's all remember that we are 510 million citizen in the Union (including UK) with a GDP of around 19 Trillion ... With a bit if cohesion and political will that would mean power, power of decision power of self governing, power to stand against any Nation or Block, let's keep in mind that this budget is with an average spending of less than 2% for all nation combined, now let that sink in and compare it with Russia for a second , well there is no comparaison but for that we need unity other wise a nation like Russia of 140 million people with 1.8 Trillion of GDP spending close to 9% of it on defense can bully us. I say no more , let's do the right thing for us , and let the US part their way, we do not need them on our continent. Nothing against them but Trump has showed his true colors once again let;s not be naive and weak. Let's hava a political will to developed our EU defense
I like Marcon as a leader at least he wants action. Like he mentions most things that can be observed have been observed, reports have been read and everything that can be said has been said, its time for ACTION!
Not this endless loop the EU is stuck in right now. analysis paralysis is a real thing and Europe is moving to slow for the current state of the world.
Mr. Macron, the glorious Europe is in a critical turning point. We either succeed or fail. You have to lead the continent so we can reach a common policy view on being independent and sovereign from everyone else in the world, including from US and China. We need to produce and buy only European. Strategic autonomy now!
So buy european, EU anyway, but don't expect third countries to buy your EU exports? Do I read you loud and clear? Don't expect us to defend you either.... Ding dong...
The EU has to act swifter than ever before and act together. These are dangerous times for Europe and we can not wait for hesitating and beauratic attitude.
Europe talks only. There is no military power to back this up.
Boycott America
Vive la France
Canada 🇨🇦🇫🇷
Perfect, Europe must invest in Europe, efficiency, scale, interoperability etc.
Europe must muscle up and get adult.
Exactly, we are the old continent so let's behave like that
We are the only adults, that's the issue.
Unfortunately it's time for Europa first. Where are the European leaders next to Macron and Meloni?
They remain quiet because they relied to much on USA and now after feeling backstabbed, most of them are ashamed for trusting USA to much. I don't like Trump, but let us admit, he will make EU united even more, make EU even stronger and less dependent on USA, so at least that's a good thing. You can't rely on an ally who's been nr1 for decades, because the longer they think they are the most powerfull country, the more greedy and arrogant they become.
@@spamoholic2024 The EU is still full of Atlanticists with too much personal interest in putting US geopolitical interests above Europe's. They are crying now because the US turned on them. I can bet you as soon as Trump leaves Office, they will go back to normal as if nothing happened. For Europe to truly become a pole of its own in a multipolar world order, a very different kind of Europe needs to take shape, one that is not servile to Washington, but thinks more like Beijing and New Delhi - governments that take their independence seriously, and jealously guard their interests. Most of Europe's leaders are just beholden to the US, who only knows to ask how high when told to jump. Had Europe been sovereign and independent, it would have opposed all the US wars in the Middle East which created Europe's refugee crisis. It would also have opposed the coup in Ukraine, and US expansionism in Russia's direction, because maintaining good relations with Russia, keeping the oil & gas flowing to Europe's factories is absolutely vital to Europe's economic interests, and takes precedence over expanding US geopolitical influence to countries where it should have no influence.
Once his career as president of France ends (it’s been 8 years after all eventually he’ll have to pass the torch, hopefully not to Le Pen) he should run in the European Parliament. I mean who else is as much of a EU phile and has such a curriculum?
Thanks!
🇨🇦 Canada stands with France and the EU
Absolument 🙏
Amazing what Trump can do, both Trudeau and Macron were dead politically, and he revived them overnight. No such luck for Olaf.
I wouldn't say he revived Trudeau... it's his time to step down in March and we are ready for it, it was due. But many who don't support him otherwise have appreciated his service during this recent trouble (once again) with the nutcase next door. I'm hoping Mark Carney will lead Canada as of March.

Its not Macron alone who is talking, it's France. And left or right, we ve been saying it for decades. We dont need to make europe great again, europe is Great
My country hates Macron and has reasons too I think. But on the geopolitic side, I only see him dealing with all the shit happening. I hope my next elections will be canceled.
Macron is totally right! Now we Europeans must ensure our safety economically for the future. America will not protect Europe if its not in their interest. And under Trump, it definitely isn’t. We must elect parties now that promote unity in the EU essembly and government! A strong United European economy and market is as strong if not stronger and in a better position to grow, then any other in the world. We can united beat America and China and be the shining beacon of democracy once more, and protect freedoms future
Comment il peut être aussi bon en diplomatie internationale et aussi nul avec les français ? Je vois des très bonnes idées de souveraineté suivies d'aide aux riches entreprises..
Macron is right. Europe should now respond to this agression... Germany has no spine right now. Let's hope Europe rise up to the challenge and stand up united to the bully.
Mr. Trump has only brought light to real issues, to years of mismanagement from European leaders, and people see it as an insult? We Europeans should be thanking him and pointing the fingers to leaders who put us in this fragile situation while finding solutions such as the one proposed by Mr. Macron.
It is not too late to turn around the situation but is important to secure military and energy independence from the US and Russia, as well as controlling the borders.
This is the end of the world as we know it ✌️🇨🇵💪
Long live Monsieur Macron!
ABOUT TIME!
Being French/Dutch I have a lot of admiration for President Macron and trust that the EU has the strength to give trump the answer he deserves by words and actions.
EU first for the Europeans and America first for the Americans. No problems there. Glad to see the EU doing whats best for themselves. We will be doing the same in America. Wishing you guys all the best 👍.
Its all talk lol! We all know the EU dance at the tune of the US😂
C'est bien à souhaiter que le Québec et le Canada fassent partie de cet échange, de ces actions économiques avec la Frances certes, avec l'Union Européenne assurément. Nous avons aussi ce besoin d'en faire partie et de nous unir pour faire face à ces défis imposés par un misérable président américain.

Commnt ça " que l’Allemagne les dirigera" ? Pas question d'être dirigés par ces cons-là!
What Marcon is proposing is good business for France, Germany and UK defence industries. We just need more convergence on projects. The is developing a 6th Gen fighter jet with Italy and Japan. I believe France and Germany and another is also developing their 6th Gen plane. A bit of a waste of money

President Macron is the best at saying different words. And a lot of them.
It's always about money. But, there's enough money out there due to capitalism that it can be used to benefit Europeans. It's all about budgeting it strategically, efficiently, without wasting it on unnecessary expenditures.

I think that many French citizens would like to see their president protect France’s economy and France’s well being over the European Union’s Priorities.
In terms of security, military and industrial strenght it's the same thing. Regardless of what we think of him individually he's only holding the Gaullist-Mitterrandist line here and 95% of French people agree with him.
Yes Europe First Well Done to you all To Europe ❤❤
It's about time!
It’s easy to stand up and follow the line General De Gaulles instigated decades ago but I must say he said it from the start and he is right on that matter
No France president can survive without this line. Regardless of any political opinion this is a massive concensus back home. We all mostly hate him but on this line he is just carrying the historic mantle and just doing his job. 95% approve.
Lol, nothing great has come out of the EU in the past decades. Maybe this would stirr the EU up.

Bravo! Tout mon support
This is long time that Europe should think about how to create a strong Europe and how to create a reliable European leadership. Basically Europe has become a worlwide pig where everybody in the planet can offer anything to be eaten by this pig, but we did not raise any of our own technological, space, or future industries...still continuing to base the continent on the old industrial and political settlements...and unfortunately the UE administration does not appear to be able to launch a truly new deal...their managers are just able to issue rules after rules and transform our continent in a soft dictatorship...then if we come to Macron, this guy is unable to be respected in his own country because he can hardly understand people needs, he is being laughed at by Putin, Trump, African leaders, what else? Do you really think he is able to manage a new European deal?
