FRANCE IS NOW OUR BIGGEST ALLY IN THE EU
MANY ADVANTAGES TO THE FRENCH CONNECTION
The recent visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to the United States has high-lighted the new status of France as our main ally in the European Community. While Great Britain is still our strongest ally on the other side of the Atlantic, their exit from EU has left France to be our inside ally.
While the French President and President Trump have many differences this new relationship is advantageous to both.
It will raise France over Germany as the leader of the EU.
France has a long and steady relationship with Iran that will be helpful in any re-negotiation of the Iran Nuclear deal.
France has a friendly relationship with Russia and Putin and will be able to be an intermediary for any talks with Russia.
France and Macron can help to facilitate any trade negotiations with EU members.
France may find some special trade concessions and joint efforts with the United States.
Macron is emerging as the best statesmen in Europe.
This friendly relationship with the United States will raise Macrons standing in his own country. He was careful to point out his differences with Trump so as to not be criticized by his opposition at home.
This strengthened relationship will be beneficial to the United States and France. While having differences in certain areas, trusted partners can work around those differences in those areas of common interest. A great example of real diplomacy.
