Following FRANCE 24’s wide-ranging interview with French President Emmanuel Macron in New York at the UN, François Picard welcomes our International Affairs Commentator Douglas Herbert and Time magazine’s veteran international correspondent Vivienne Walt to break everything down for us. With Russia’s war on Ukraine now putting NATO-member countries on high-alert and the ever-escalating conflict in the Middle East unraveling any hopes for peace, Macron finds himself performing a complex and delicate balancing act in an “almost impossible situation right now,” Ms. Walt explains. The French president seeks consensus, through the force of diplomacy, cognisant “that the most isolated leaders in the world are Trump and Netanyahu.” All the while, “new alliances are forming very quickly” that will challenge Trump’s sphere of influence.
