French President Emmanuel Macron has warned that the growing divide between the U.S. and China poses the most serious threat to global stability, urging countries to form coalitions for collective action.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Macron emphasized the urgency of building new global partnerships—especially in the Indo-Pacific—amid rising geopolitical tensions. He described France as a friend to both the United States and China, while cautioning that passive non-alignment is no longer an option.
Macron’s remarks align with France and the EU’s broader strategy to strengthen economic ties in Asia amid uncertainties surrounding U.S. trade policies. Highlighting the need to preserve the global order, he stressed that Asia and Europe must work together to prevent further fragmentation.
