ANALYSIS – The American Secretary of State has arrived in Paris for the G7 summit. For a year now, he has been the messenger of an America wishing to reaffirm the transatlantic alliance, but subjecting it to certain conditions defined more or less willingly by Donald Trump.
In a love story, it’s better to read between the lines. Especially with Donald Trump. After more than a year of a presidency that has shaken up, disrupted, and sometimes humiliated its allies, some within his administration or among his former allies are eager to hear America speak these sweet words that Europe (and its 450 million consumers of American products) loves to hear. Marco Rubio, expected at Vaux-de-Cernay to meet his European counterparts gathered around Jean-Noël Barrot to discuss the many current geopolitical crises, is one of them.
It’s hard to imagine that he will make significant concessions on the ambitions of the American president who still seems determined to fight a war that he announced to have already won on March 11. But at a time when relations between the United States and Europe are undergoing a reconfiguration, and some consider him a potential successor to Donald. in a not so distant future.
