Macron ‘totally stands by’ claim NATO is experiencing ‘brain death’

French President Emmanuel Macron defends his claim that NATO is experiencing “brain death,” saying its members are no longer cooperating strategically on a range of key issues facing the alliance.

“I totally stand by raising these ambiguities because I believe it was irresponsible of us to keep talking about financial and technical matters given the stakes we currently face,” Macron says alongside NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg after talks in Paris.

“A wakeup call was necessary,” he says.
