French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans on January 16 to deliver more long-range cruise missiles as well as bombs to Ukraine and suggested that he'd find ways to work with Donald Trump if he again wins the White House. “I take the leaders that the people give me,” the French leader said at a news conference. He cautioned that regardless of who wins the U.S. presidential election, Europe should brace for the possibility that U.S. priorities may lie elsewhere. While the United States shares France’s values, its “first priority is itself” and its second is China, he said.
