Macron:EU Cannot Depend on US for Security; View May Be Due to Trump's NATO Distancing

French President Emmanuel Macron said today (August 27, 2018) that he will put forward new proposals for the European Union (EU) to boost its security, saying the bloc must stop depending on American might, according to the Times of Israel website.

"Europe can no longer rely on the United States for its security. It is up to us to guarantee European security," he said.

His proposals will be unveiled "in the coming months," Macron told an audience of some 250 diplomats.

Macron's critical comments toward the U.S. may have been sparked by a string of gestures from U.S. President Donald Trump distancing the U.S. from NATO allies.
