In a series of statements at the Global Security Forum in Singapore, French President Emmanuel Macron warned that the West risks losing credibility due to perceived double standards in addressing the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. He highlighted the growing threat posed by a potential China-Russia axis and urged both Europe and Asia to unite against coercive powers. Macron emphasized the need for a coalition to address these global challenges and warned that abandoning support for Ukraine could undermine efforts to deter aggression in other regions, particularly concerning Taiwan. He also called on China to refrain from linking defense matters in Ukraine to threats against Taiwan, amid escalating U.S.-China tensions. The discussions highlighted the importance of a new special relationship between the EU and Indo-Pacific nations as the world grapples with divisions between superpowers.
