“President Macron is right in insisting that NATO must change, de-escalate the conflict with Russia and look more broadly at the most serious threats to our common security,” he said in a pre-election speech during a speech in York, England.

He also noted that if the Labor Party wins the early parliamentary elections on December 12, they will work to reduce NATO’s tension in Europe and beyond, maintain relations with the United States, and strengthening ties with the European Union will be a priority.

At the same time, he stated the need for Britain to independently determine its foreign policy, and not under the influence of other countries.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that Corbin could greatly harm Britain.

In a November 7 interview with The Economist, Macron said that NATO was undergoing a “brain death” and that it was time for Europe to begin to control its own destiny.

French Defense Minister Florence Parley called this statement a desire to encourage members of the alliance to debate.

In turn, the head of the Federation Council committee on international affairs, Konstantin Kosachev, in an interview with the NSN, commented on a statement by British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace that Russia poses a “real threat” to NATO.
