BESSENT MOCKS MACRON: US Treasury Chief Attacks France’s Plan of Troops For Greenland | World News

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sharply criticized French President Emmanuel Macron after Paris signaled interest in holding NATO military exercises in Greenland, dismissing the idea as misplaced while France grapples with serious budgetary challenges. Speaking at a press conference, Bessent suggested Macron should focus on domestic economic priorities rather than “quixotic” security gestures, reinforcing the Trump administration’s stance that national security begins with economic strength. The remarks come amid rising tensions between Washington and European leaders over tariffs, defense responsibility, and Greenland’s strategic role, with the U.S. accusing Europe of reacting with “reflexive anger” instead of engaging constructively on security concerns. #scottbessent #macron #francebudget #nato #greenland #ustrade #trumpdoctrine #globalsecurity #europeus #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
