Macron chides Trump, China over trade, Ukraine, Gaza: policies 'will kill global order'
Share this @internewscast.com

French President Emmanuel Macron struck a serious note on Friday in his address to a Shangri-La security forum in Singapore, in which he hit on some of the biggest crises spanning the globe and appeared to issue an indirect warning to President Donald Trump and China. 

“I will be clear, France is a friend and an ally of the United States,” Macron said. “And [France] is a friend, and we do cooperate – even if sometimes we disagree and compete – with China.”

“The main risk today is the division of two super-powers,” he warned.

“If China doesn’t want NATO being involved in Southeast Asia or in Asia, they should prevent DPRK to be engaged on European soil,” Macron said in reference to the formal name of North Korea, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Ultimately, he warned that every conflict that is plaguing European, American, Middle Eastern and Asian partnerships — including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza — are interconnected and there is a “big risk” that the universal principles which connect these conflicts have been forgotten. 

“If we consider that Russia could be allowed to take a part of the territory of Ukraine without any restriction, without any constraint, without any reaction of the global order…what could happen in Taiwan? What would you do the day something happened in [the] Philippines?” the French president asked.

“What is at stake in Ukraine is our common credibility to be sure that we are still able to preserve territorial integrity and sovereignty of people, no double standard,” Macron said in a counterargument to claims that the war in Ukraine is a European issue.

This extended to the war in Gaza, and Macron argued that giving Israel “a free pass” for its military operations in Gaza that have led to a humanitarian crisis could “kill our own credibility in the rest of the world.”
