Paris – French President Emmanuel Macron warned Europeans on Wednesday against “everyone for themselves” following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, advocating for a “coordinated European strategy,” the government spokeswoman reported.

“The temptation should not be to everyone for themselves or bilateral relations, but rather to a coordinated European strategy,” the head of state affirmed during the Council of Ministers, according to government representative Maud Bregeon, in her press briefing.

Emmanuel Macron had previously extended his “congratulations” to “President Donald Trump” on the X network, saying he was “ready to work together as we were able to do during four years” of the Republican’s first term.

He also agreed with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to “work towards a more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe.” The two men had a telephone conversation to “closely coordinate,” according to a spokesman for the German government. (November 6, 2024)
