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.”
If so, that’s an idiotic strategy. It would be like Palestinians suicide-bombing EU countries to make them stop Israel’s war.
Not really, closer to suicide-bombing Gulf countries. Neither the EU or America have any skin in the game (for them it’s just another far away military fun and profitable venture), they’re not neighbours of Iran, whilst the Gulf countries are.
