"I Take Leaders That People Give Me": Macron On Trump

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that he would deal with the leaders that countries give him when asked about the prospect of the re-election of Donald Trump as U.S. president.

"I've always had the same philosophy, I take the leaders that people give me," Macron said during a news conference.

"The United States is an important ally... It's a democracy that's going through a crisis in which it itself is the first priority and the second priority is China's power. All of us Europeans need to be lucid about that."
