Emmanuel Macron has called for the creation of a “true European army” to allow the EU defend itself from threats ranging from Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin.
The French president has pushed for closer EU defence union since coming to power last year but has been so far met with limited success amid foot-dragging by other member states.
“We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” Mr Macron told France’s Europe 1 radio in an interview.

Finally, a Western European Leader calling for what has been obvious to the US Citizenry for many years now! Let the European's foot the bill for their own defense. Think of how many Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines we could bring home and get out of harms way. Of course, knowing the political state of most of the EU countries, they'd screw this up in a NYC heartbeat and we'd back to square one.
