Emmanuel Macron’s comments come as Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, warns against turning world into ‘robber’s den’

The presidents of France and Germany have sharply condemned US foreign policy under Donald Trump, saying respectively that Washington was “breaking free from international rules” and the world risked turning into a “robber’s den”.

In unusually strong and apparently uncoordinated remarks, Emmanuel Macron and Frank-Walter Steinmeier warned the postwar rules-based international order could soon disintegrate.

“The US is an established power, but one that is gradually turning away from some of its allies and breaking free from the international rules that it was until recently promoting,” Macron told France’s diplomatic corps at the Élysée Palace on Thursday.

    Whelp, this looks like a time for FREEDOM FRIES again.

    We will break you

    The USA has been breaking international treaties for as long as I’ve been alive, and I’m old.

    The leopards are going to eat the EUs face, it’s their (usa) only chance to win in our forever war, which is now looking at China long term.

    Short term, we will gobble up all of those profits in Europe; the fruit we planted after WWII is almost ready to harvest.

    The entire machine is now international and dedicated to profit, and the best way to seize profits is war. USA is world’s arms dealer for a reason, this was always going to be result. All of these “world wide” organizations created by the USA were created with this in mind.

    This is my opinion and it is not sanctioned by the UN
