French President Emmanuel Macron and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier delivered sharp criticism of US foreign policy.
In his annual speech to French ambassadors at the Élysée Palace, Macron lamented that the United States is “gradually abandoning its allies and ignoring international rules,” describing this as a “new colonial aggressiveness.”
He warned that multilateral institutions are becoming less effective and that the world is increasingly dominated by major powers. Macron urged the G7 and major emerging nations to reform the United Nations and the global order.
Steinmeier, for his part, called US behavior a “historic rupture,” criticizing Washington’s assertive stance in the Western Hemisphere, particularly after the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and President Donald Trump’s ambitions in Greenland.
