German Chancellor Olaf Scholz meets French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss key global issues such as US relations under President Trump, the war in Ukraine, and Middle East conflicts. Celebrating the anniversary of the Elysee Treaty, they emphasize Europe's commitment to free trade while warning against isolationism. Scholz, while maintaining strong ties with the US, advocates for a collective European approach to foster unity and sovereignty amidst potential economic threats posed by US trade policies.
"Isolation comes at a real economic cost. Europe is committed to free and fair global trade! We're not alone. Together the European Union and our partners will defend free trade — the basis of our prosperity."
"Macron said they would work for a 'more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe' and that this would be done in 'cooperation with the US.'"
