French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou cautioned on Monday that France and Europe must confront U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and his policies, or risk being “overwhelmed.”
“The United States has chosen to pursue a highly aggressive form of politics, utilizing the dollar, its industrial strategy, and its ability to attract global investments and research,” Bayrou stated during a New Year’s address in Pau.
“If we remain passive, our outcome is clear—we will be dominated, overwhelmed, and marginalized,” he emphasized. “The manner in which we respond is a choice that rests entirely with the French populace and Europe, as it is evident that we cannot act effectively without Europe,” Bayrou concluded.
