French President Emmanuel Macron warned that Europe should prepare for further bouts of U.S. hostility and treat what he described as the “Greenland moment” as a wake-up call to accelerate long-stalled reforms aimed at strengthening the continent’s global influence.

In interviews with several European newspapers, including Le Monde and the Financial Times, Macron cautioned that any easing of tensions with Washington should not be mistaken for a durable shift in U.S. policy, despite a recent pause in American threats tied to Greenland, trade and technology.

Macron urged leaders of the European Union to use a summit this week at a Belgian castle to reinvigorate economic reforms that would boost competitiveness and enhance Europe’s ability to stand up to both China and the United States on the world stage.

“When there’s a clear act of aggression, I think what we should do isn’t bow down or try to reach a settlement,” Macron said. “We’ve tried that strategy for months. It’s not working.”

He argued that the administration of Donald Trump has taken an “openly anti-European” stance and is seeking to weaken or fracture the bloc. Macron said he expects additional flashpoints with Washington, particularly over Europe’s regulation of digital technology.

“The U.S. will, in the coming months — that’s certain — attack us over digital regulation,” Macron said, warning that Trump could respond with new import tariffs if the EU uses its Digital Services Act to rein in major technology companies.
