Emmanuel Macron makes worrying plea as he warns ‘Europe could die’ | World | News [Video]

Emmanuel Macron has warned that “Europe could die”. The French President also warned that the bloc should not become “a vassal of the US” dependent on American military might following any Russian aggression.

Speaking at the Sorbonne University in Paris, he said: “There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks. Europe must show that it is never a vassal of the United States and that it also knows how to talk to all the other regions of the world.”

He added: “Our Europe, today, is mortal and it can die. It can die and this depends only on our choices.

“Over the next decade … the risk is immense of [Europe] being weakened or even relegated.

“There is no defence without a defence industry … we’ve had decades of under-investment.

“We must produce more, we must produce faster, and we must produce as Europeans.”
