French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday voiced solidarity with Spain following recent threats by US President Donald Trump over Madrid’s stance on Iran.
Macron has just spoken with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez “to express France’s European solidarity in response to the recent threats of economic coercion that Spain was targeted with yesterday," the French Presidency told broadcaster BFMTV.
European Council President Antonio Costa also expressed the EU’s solidarity with Madrid and noted that the bloc “will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.”
How about he shows Europe’s solidarity by not joining an illegal, brutal, vicious war waged by two blood thirsty criminals?
The carrier is there strictly in a defensive posture. no? I’m not aware of France being involved in any attacks on Iran.
Macron explicitly said that France was involved because of defense treaties with petromonarchies. That means that French weapons and soldiers will be involved in disabling Iranian war capability, i.e. bombing them.
