        About a week or so ago, Macron was on a three day state visit in China.  During his return trip, he gave an interview to a business-centric French publication—'Les Echos'— which ended up triggering a diplomatic row on both sides of the Atlantic, but mostly in Europe.  Some of the controversial remarks were as follows :

- Does a potential military conflict  over the issue of Taiwan concern Europe?

-Europe shouldn't be a follower of the United States

- He also questioned  the extra territoriality of the United States dollar .

Needless to say, starting in Europe,—particularly in Germany —, the reactions were swift, with some newspapers calling into question his mental acuity and what not.Personally, to say I was incensed is an understatement.

Look, I'm no flag waving, America can do no wrong zealot. I'm an American citizen who wasn't actually born in this country . I wish I could say I'm surprised by the predictable, yet , hypocritical attitude of the French.  Since the end of world War 2 , France has always had an inexplicable mixture of envy, jealousy,and weird resentment towards the U.S. Emmanuel Macron's latest statements should be taken as a 'the cat's out the bag'moment by U.S foreign policy makers who should act accordingly moving forward.[/quote]
