Macron wants to end reliance on US weapons

China Daily  

By Julian Shea in London | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2025-01-22 06:33 France's President Emmanuel Macron has used the return to the White House of United States President Donald Trump to call for increased European military expenditure on home-grown systems, rather than the continent being reliant on American imports. In the run-up to his return to power, Trump spoke of the need for all members of the NATO military alliance, many of which are European countries, to significantly increase the proportion of their gross domestic product spent on the military, saying it was unfair that the US was contributing so much more. France has a large armaments industry and has previously expressed frustration when European partners have opted to choose US alternatives, but he insisted buying European would be of mutual benefit. Macron called for a more streamlined European defense sector, contrasting the six industrial platforms serving the US navy with the 47 in Europe, and insisted that his plea was for wider European benefit, not just to promote French economic interests.
