Senator Marco Rubio: "We need to find out if Macron speaks for Europe "

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL): "We need to find out if Emmanuel Macron speaks for Europe". France President Emmanuel Macron went to China PRC the first week of April 2023 with his nanny Ursula von der Leyen in order to visit Xi Jinping.

Some reporters were embarked on his flights there and back; ride-sharing or hitch-hiking is the style of these trips in diplomatic affairs. When you have a 300-seat jetliner and have maybe 50 diplomatic staff in train, especially given the public pressure to economize in these days of climate hysteria, it makes sense to run a bus service for everyone.

On the 14-hour plane ride home to Paris he told reporters that Europe should create distance with the U.S. and should not get involved in supporting America over China when it comes to Taiwan.

We support Senator Rubio as he now asks some tough questions. See [0-2] for details.
