MINISTER LE MAIRE USED TRUMP´S MOTTO MAKING AS « MAKING FRANCE GREAT AGAIN » ------------------ A question raised form the audience wondering why Minister Lemaire used that specific slogan so often used by Donald Trump, the U.S. president «  Make America Great again » not the french version of the promise « Make France great again." Bruno Lemaire answered that "Even if the U.S. remains a close ally, we're aware that the American administration has its own policy not taking into account European or French interests. We need to take decisions to face the challenges of the 21st century alone. We can no longer depend on the support of the U.S." Bruno Lemaire also recalled that Trump´s withdrawal of the Paris agreement regarding Climate change, shows how the US president is breaking up the strong bonds that usually tighten up EU and USA. French Minster Le Maire finished his remarks by expressing his worries as far as China and USA are concerned, in terms of trade relationships, but not only that : « I´m worried about the weakening of European governments," he says. "It's hard for a party to win a majority, and take decisions. It's the lack of decisions that feeds populism everywhere in Europe." For Lemaire, capturing the prize means gathering all of the individual strengths of the EU nations to win in the technologies of the future. "We must put our resources together," says Lemaire. "No country can face that challenge alone."
