Macron also stressed “the importance of European countries continuing to re-arm themselves in order to take on their responsibilities in sharing the burden of transatlantic security,” the statement said.
Returning from his trip to China, Macron had raised hackles among allies by saying that Europe shouldn’t be a “follower” of the United States in the event of conflict between the US and China over Taiwan. Macron headed to Beijing keen to engage Xi, an ally of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, in finding an end to the Ukraine war.
