⚡️🇫🇷🇺🇸 — Following a bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron identified reopening the Strait of Hormuz as the “main objective” for mitigating worsening global energy shortages. Macron said Washington had previously underestimated Iran’s leverage over the maritime chokepoint and stated that France was ready to deploy military assets to “protect some capacities” and secure transit, while avoiding direct confrontation — ABC News.

He also criticized US military interventions aimed at “regime change by bombing,” describing them as ineffective historical mistakes resulting from insufficient prior coordination with allies.

➡️ Macron rejected Putin’s claims that Russia is not seeking aggression against Europe as “not true,” and said European diplomatic engagement had contributed to Trump recognizing the “bravery and innovation” of Ukrainian forces and reassessing Russian military capabilities as “overrated.”

➡️ On artificial intelligence, Macron directly challenged Trump’s characterization of AI threats as a “hoax,” calling instead for immediate multilateral regulation by the US, China and Europe to address “frontier models” and associated economic risks.
