DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, Jan 20 (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that the European Union must not bow to the ‘law of the strongest’ and that it is appalling that the bloc is considering using its ‘anti-coercion instrument’ against the United States.
“We believe that we need more growth, we need more stability in this world, but we prefer respect for bullies,” Macron said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, speaking in English.
‘We prefer science to conspiracy theories and we prefer the rule of law to brutality.’
Macron’s comments come amid pressure from United States President Donald Trump on European countries in the dispute over Greenland.
