Nothing is more dangerous than a cornered Trump
Some will conclude that the Supreme Court has just demonstrated the strength of American democracy and its checks and balances. They will say that there was no reason to despair of the United States and even less reason to bury the Atlantic Alliance, since it is clear that Trump will ultimately have been nothing more […]

Bazooka, and then a smile
This time, Donald Trump sent his Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Munich, a man polite enough to say that the United States was Europe's child, that it wanted Europe to be strong and wanted to ‘revitalise’ the Atlantic Alliance rather than break it up. But why had the American president changed tack?

That America is no longer our ally
That America is no longer our ally. Whether temporary or lasting, it is now our adversary, and we must say so because we can no longer allow the values we once shared to be debased, nor can we delay in organizing the countries that want to resist this step backwards.

United against Trump and Putin, Europe must develop a common industrial policy to counter China
Before jumping on the first flight to Beijing, we would have to define a common basis for negotiations with China and do so without wasting any time.

Europeans, one more effort!
We need to act, not talk, and the first thing to do would be to organize, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has just called for, a network of medium-sized powers that refuse to be vassals of China or the United States.

Trump’s follies, Europe’s strength
Sending European troops to Greenland, even if only symbolic, carries much more weight than is being said. It means that we would be prepared to defend, with arms in hand, the sovereignty of this European country against any attempt at annexation by force.

The four reasons for their hostility
Why are we their only target? Why does Donald Trump's United States believe, in its presentation of its National Security Strategy, that it must ‘cultivate resistance' to 'Europe's current trajectory’ even though it says it wants to repudiate all American ‘interventionism’ from the Cold War and post-communism?

Trumpism creates its own antidote
Canadians are seeking allies, against Trump of course. Europeans are doing the same, which is why parliamentarians from the European Union, Canada and the United Kingdom met last Friday in Toronto to lay the foundations for an international movement to defend democracy.

“Very well, and you?”
By caricaturing yesterday's battles, the left is failing to fight today's battles, which the centre is also failing to fight, and we are surprised at the rise of the far right?

French people, one more effort!
Dear French people, no, not only are France and the rest of Europe not dead yet, but on the contrary: our continent is regaining its political vitality.
