"Nanogram" Weight? Macron's China Tariff Threat Dismissed as Delusional Grandeur Amid Sliding Popularity

The Russian outlet Tsargrad launches a scathing critique of French President Emmanuel Macron's recent interview with Les Echos , where he threatened China with European Union tariffs over the massive trade imbalance. The analyst sarcastically suggests Macron, whose political influence is allegedly "measured in nanograms," has resorted to grandstanding. The critique questions the President's ability to act decisively, particularly given his purported rapidly declining influence within the EU and his low domestic approval ratings. The author mocks Macron's use of the collective "we, Europeans," questioning the unity of a bloc where "every capital pulls the blanket towards itself." The piece concludes that Paris is dangerously "confusing the greatness of the past with the possibilities of the present." #Macron #China #EU #Geopolitics
