These comments were made during a three-day trip to China last week, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p>Macron stated in an interview with Politico: &#8220;The paradox would be that, overcome with panic, we believe we are just America&#8217;s followers. The question Europeans need to answer \u2026 is it in our interest to accelerate [a crisis] on Taiwan? No. The worse thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the U.S.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Several U.S. politicians voiced their opposition to Macron&#8217;s statements, while noting that America has supported Europe for decades, especially during the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Ted Cruz questioned whether President Biden could have done more to avoid mishandling foreign policy, saying: &#8220;Serious Q: Could Biden possibly have screwed up foreign policy more?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby downplayed Macron&#8217;s comments, stressing the &#8220;terrific bilateral cooperation&#8221; between the two countries. Biden spoke with Macron earlier this month and hosted him for a state visit last year. Macron left for the Netherlands on Tuesday for a two-day visit, while Biden traveled to Northern Ireland for a four-day trip.<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
