Relationships between Europe and the US undoubtedly in the crisis, so keep compiling things that Emmanuel Macron in the White House on Monday has a success.
He did that by praise, flattery and slowly distributing the US president while they took questions at the Oval Office and holding a joint news conference. This is a playbook that many leaders in the world are now seen more productive than Trump’s obvious talking or criticism.
Macron has managed to navigate what can be a fraudulent day of Washington without hiding or revealing so much.
He discusses both nations of peace, and while he slowly corrects one of Trump’s claims in Ukraine, he also agreed that Europe should make more responsibility for self-security .
But the macron makes an important concession – that Trump is properly establishing some kind of vladimir relationship in Russia.
That is as opposed to seeing so far in London, Paris and Berlin, who all follows a policy of Putin’s islands and individuals in Russia.
“There is a good reason that President Trump also associate with President Putin,” said Macron, adding that the new administration represents “a great change”.
Macron conducts European countries such as France and UK ready to play with a leading security role in a post-truce Ukraine, possibly in the form of air and troops drawn by the frontline.
But at the same time, he emphasized the importance of having an American backstop.
Macron, however, did not get a commitment to the US back from his or her meeting at the Oval Office. And if he looked for a scintilla in criticism of Russian President of Russia from Trump, then he didn’t get that.
His acquisition was, most, the european voice back to the table and he, with other European leaders, take some hearts from it.
However, ambitions are clear for the rebuilding of the kind of close relationship that Europe and the US ever since the end of the world is not on any way.
So the macron itself works with the idea of a more estironomic autonomy in Europe, sang ideas of combined forces in European defense.
His definition should be customized in Europe that gives rise to the US position shifts Fredrich Merz, which is the next chandellor in Germany.
Merz already said he believed that the US under Donald Trump does not care about European fateand that the continent should be independent of the US in security terms.
“My perfect priority is to reinforce Europe as easy as possible to, step by step, we can actually achieve independence from one,” says Merz.
But France, UK and Germany should also be aware of the fact that not all European powers to overlook the US in Ukraine.
The increase in distant nationalist party at Europe, especially in areas such as Germany where the AFD is the second of Europe based on continuous continent support.
After this week, the Prime Minister of UK Sir Keir Starmer, who was close to his French Cofeacpart, arrived in Washington to strengthen their case in Ukraine.
She, like macron, believe her country has a special US relationship that can open doors and get a fair hearing.
The problem is that Washington in the form of Donald Trump is in the transmit mode at the moment – push an agenda leaving a small room for the opinion of others.
And while America often has the ability to flex its muscles and get its path, Europe for the most part is not yet in acceptance. The fact that has changed is a sign of how severe this decay in the established alliances has become.
