Macron warns Europe must not 'delegate forever' its security to US

French President Emmanuel Macron told a European leaders' gathering Thursday that the continent must assert its security independence from the United States -- and defend its "interests" over those of geopolitical rivals.

"We must not delegate forever our security to America," Macron said, arguing that returning U.S. leader Donald Trump would legitimately "defend the interests of the American people" and asking: "Are we ready to defend the interests of the European people?"
