“On the issue of the relationship with the US, it’s clear that there can be nuances and sensitivities around the table of the European Council… I think quite a few really think like Emmanuel Macron,” the European Council president said, Xinhua News Agency reported.

“There is indeed a great attachment that remains present, and Emmanuel Macron has said nothing else, for this alliance with the US. But if this alliance with the US would suppose that we blindly, systematically follow the position of the US on all issues, no,” he said.
