Macron critiques US 'America First' strategy

French President Emmanuel Macron has offered a pointed critique of long-term U.S. foreign policy, stating that for the past 15 years, the United States has decided its number one issue is "America first." He identified China as the second priority for the U.S., framing this as a strategic reality rather than a matter of President Trump's personal character. Macron's comments highlight a growing European perception of a fundamental shift in American strategic focus away from traditional alliances. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and its European partners on various geopolitical fronts.
