Emmanuel Macron worry Many European parties, including the conventional parties in France, no longer have the ability to keep people together.

And I think he has a very strong view in terms of security. And we are very strong allies and we work very closely together in Middle East and in order to fight against terrorism. But we didn't agree on two to three issues, and the very first one was on climate. And what it told me is that I took a commitment vis-à-vis my voters. And I told them it was not good for the U.S. and especially the U.S. workers. I tried to convince them. I do believe that on the mid- to long-run it's not true. And I do believe it's important to have on board the U.S. government. Emmanuel Macron strongbelievecommitment Europe was initially supposed to be primarily a political project!
