Emmanuel Macron

The atmosphere is the best.

And Emmanuel Macron sharing the finish, like-

Yeah, man

...

It really undercuts and undermines his position, and it was on display the extent to which he is losing his grip on the party to some extent because after this Sunday night meeting of the CDU where he was there, there was this second meeting where he didn't attend with a bunch of the state premiers of the CDU, not all of them, where they were discussing his future because of how poorly the CDU performed in this state.

So what does this do to Brussels then? Because, you know, Macron's on his way out.

You would think that the German chancellor therefore would be the one who is really pushing things through.

We've just talked about the EU seven-year budget, the MFF.

Mm-hmm.

If she picked up the phone and rang around the capitals, you could pretty much guarantee that she would get people on the same page.

Macron in his heyday also was seen as this convener.

Now, when you talk to people around, there is really a vacuum.

What can we expect?

Omar, fresh off a speech to European Parliament last week and a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney's efforts to bring Canada closer to Europe and strengthen relations with countries from around the world continue this week here in New York on U.S. President Donald Trump's home turf.

Carney is expected to meet with a number of world leaders here at the United Nations General Assembly.

The focus here, the Canadian government says helping drive reform ensuring the organization remains relevant.

Depuis Paris, Rachel Costa.

Les nouvelles de France Carburant, Emmanuel Macron a demandé à Bruxelles de... et assouplir certains règlements pour éviter la hausse des prix.

Le président de la République, Emmanuel Macron, a envoyé vendredi dernier une lettre à la présidente de la Commission européenne, a Sullivan de Lyon, contenant une série de propositions visant à contenir la flambée des prix à la pompe.

Dans cette missive, lancée quelques jours après l'annonce de nouvelles mesures de soutien aux consommateurs, Macron signale des difficultés croissantes dans la livraison de produits pétroliers au cours des prochaines semaines, avertit l'impossible baisse des catwalks.

5% of the world's refinery capacity and fears a new wave of price increases.

The president identifies five actions urgent.

France, il faut une analyse.

Et avant de passer à l'éditorial de Rachel, une analyse.

From commission, yeah.

With regards to individual member states, you really get the impression with someone as unpopular as Merz or Macron, they really need this outside enemy, someone to deflect the attention to, and have something to talk about, and have a reason to spend all this money on defense.

So there isn't really anything constructive happening.

There are elections coming up in France next year, and also an election in September this year in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany, and this one is remarkable because the AfD, Alternative für Deutschland, which is right now the strongest party according to the polls in entire Germany, this party is against the war, and they seek reconciliation with Russia.

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State.

And also Emmanuel Macron popping in for a little Grey Poupon.

So it sounds like a great, very interesting dinner.

The board has established a committee to oversee executive decisions and public statements during the transition.

And internationally, the 81st United Nations General Assembly General Debate opens in New York later today, with about 130 world leaders, including US President Donald J. Trump and France's President Emmanuel Macron, expected to address the session.

Trump's speech this coming Wednesday is expected to draw close attention, while the White House says it will push for what it calls prosperity through peace and a return to the United Nations core functions.

Julia says, what do you think of the French elections? We could have another Trump-style president with Marine Le Pen get in as president in France.

Some people are going to abstain to vote because they don't want to vote for Le Pen or Macron.

Oh, come on, French people.

Pick one.

And I believe that everybody's looking forward to uh successful it's only about 44 45 days for the election
