Sen. Ted Cruz blasted President Biden’s foreign policy on Wednesday in response to French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent kowtow to China.
The Texas Republican called Mr. Macron’s warning against Europe taking cues from the U.S. over Taiwan “stunning” and said Mr. Biden shoulders the blame for driving the U.S.’ oldest ally into the arms of Chines President Xi Jinping.
Mr. Macron drew sharp backlash for his comments made during a three-day visit to China amid souring relations between Washington and Beijing. Mr. Macron warned that Europe risks getting “caught up in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building strategic autonomy.” “If Macron speaks for all of Europe, and their position now is they’re not going to pick sides between the U.S. and China over Taiwan, maybe then we should not be taking sides either,” Mr. Rubio said.
