.mikepompeo blasted French President EmmanuelMacron over his trip to China, where he sought to distance Europe from the US and called for European 'strategic autonomy' on Taiwan. Pompeo said Macron 'resented' the US.
Macron ignited a firestorm over his calls for European"strategic autonomy" and equivocations on Taiwan. Pompeo said Macron"resented" the U.S. and argued that he has a propensity for"cozying" up with rival nations such as Iran."I don't know how big of a problem it is. Macron has always been someone who resented the United States of America. We saw that when we were dealing with the Iranians.
"What Macron did is absolutely indecent — to reject all we have done for France and for Europe over the last 60, 70 years," he added. In a Politico interview, Macron roiled U.S. foreign policy luminaries by asserting that Europe should not become a"vassal" state for the U.S.
