French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday voiced solidarity with Spain following recent threats by US President Donald Trump over Madrid’s stance on Iran.
Macron has just spoken with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez “to express France’s European solidarity in response to the recent threats of economic coercion that Spain was targeted with yesterday," the French Presidency told broadcaster BFMTV.
European Council President Antonio Costa also expressed the EU’s solidarity with Madrid and noted that the bloc “will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.”
To add to your comment, in the past, there has been US bases in France. The US troops were evicted by De Gaulle when he exited France from NATO’s Military Command Structure. Some of these old US bases are now used by the french military.
Thank you, I learned something new today.
