Macron heads to China tomorrow. I spoke with @michelrose.bsky.social about the diplomatic tightrope he will be walking with Xi Jinping as European fears about China’s industrial dominance grow www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Hours after his prime minister resigned, Macron was spotted walking alone by the Seine in the chilly autumn morning.

Emmanuel Macron's announcement that France will recognise a Palestinian state in September has caused diplomatic ructions from the Middle East through Europe to Washington. But it did not come out of the blue. Inside story from top team @irishjreuters.bsky.social & @michelrose.bsky.social

Nearly ten years after the November 13, 2015 attacks in Paris, a memorial garden has taken shape near City Hall — a poetic and peaceful blend of hard granite and vegetation meant to evoke the “mental geography” of the streets where the traumatic events unfolded.

Quand on vous dit que la communication n’est pas de l’information…

Michel Barnier says he wants to hold a vote on the #Mercosur free trade deal in France’s parliament. Although purely symbolic, since the French can’t block the deal on their own, the aim is to send the EU the message any deal would be done against the will of almost all the French political class.

Political crisis brewing in France tonight. In a surprise move, Le Pen endorsed the LR-centrist compromise that toughens immigration laws. That has caused immense embarrassment in Macronist ranks, with some MPs saying they will vote against the bill later tonight. www.reuters.com/world/europe...
