Naveed#Macron provocatively equated the threat posed by the #US to that of #China, warning that if #UK and #France wanted to “build a sustainable future for all children” they had to “de-risk our economies and our societies from these dual dependencies”. https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/emmanuel-macron-france-britain-us-china-pk3xxvfwg
“What is at stake today in #Europe is our ability to invest in key technologies of the future to avoid strategic dependencies and disengagement . . . If we still depend on both #China and the #US, I think we have a clear view of our future and the future of our children.”
And then echoed slight guilt of #Sykes-#Picot barbarity:
#Macron called on Starmer to immediately recognise a #PalestinianLivesMatter state, something the Labour government has said that it will do when it thinks it is the right time.
