French president espouses shared principles and cooperation on security and trade to counteract superpowers
European and Asian countries should form a “positive new alliance” based on shared principles, security, defence and trade, away from the battling superpowers of the US and China, Emmanuel Macron has said.
Addressing the Shangri-la security dialogue in Singapore on Friday, the French president said the division between the US and China was the biggest risk in the world right now, but also warned of the threat of Russia and North Korea. He said it was crucial that allied nations act together to maintain credibility against aggressors.
