Macron warns the West could lose credibility over Ukraine and Gaza wars
French President Emmanuel Macron warns the US and Europe of losing credibility over unresolved conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza during the Shangri-la Dialogue in Singapore. Macron urges Asian countries to form a new alliance with Europe to prevent becoming "collateral damage" in the US-China power struggle. He emphasizes the importance of not having double standards in territorial integrity and sovereignty, citing concerns about potential conflicts in Taiwan and the Philippines. Macron also advocates for a rules-based global order not dominated by superpowers and promotes strategic autonomy for countries in upholding their interests.
