French President Emanual Macron is encouraging the boycott of US-made products. Although he is speaking to EU leaders about US-made defense products, Macron is clearly in favor of the growing calls around the EU to boycott all American-made goods. “My intention is to go and convince European states that have become accustomed to buying American,” he said on Saturday after declaring that he would visit other European leaders to urge them to discontinue purchases of US defense equipment.
“Those who buy Patriot should be offered the new-generation Franco-Italian SAMP/T. Those who buy the F-35, should be offered the Rafale. That’s the way to increase the rate of production,” the president said. Macron wants to send his troops to Ukraine’s frontline immediately and has become outraged with the US for electing a president who supports peace. “This [sending troops] would mean a partial invasion of Ukraine and a freeze on the conflict, without offering any security or guarantees for the future,” Macron said.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also stated that new defense loans should go to European manufacturers and has proposed a €150 billion ($163 billion) loan for member states.
This goes far beyond defense spending as European leaders are outraged by the United States backing away from the war, the Paris Accord climate agreement, the World Health Organization, and every other globalist policy that was ruining the nation.
French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann, of the Socialists and Democrats group recently demanded that the US return the Statue of Liberty. “We’re going to tell the Americans who have chosen to align themselves with tyrants, who have dismissed researchers advocating for scientific freedom: ‘Return the Statue of Liberty to us.’ We bestowed it upon you as a present, yet it seems you hold it in contempt. Therefore, it would be better suited here at home.”
The European Union has a common enemy—Donald Trump—who they will blame for all of their woes. “Look, let’s be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States,” Donald Trump once said. Macron has had it out for Trump since his first presidency. He would like to transform France into the EU’s primary defense system with its nuclear capabilities now that the US is no longer leading this proxy war.
Perhaps Macron would reconsider his position if Trump agreed to extradite his number one American foe—Candace Owens.
