French President Emmanuel Macron has suggested that Europe should reduce its dependency on the United States, amid reports that some countries have begun “de-dollarizing.”

“[There is] great risk [Europe] gets caught up in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building its strategic autonomy,” he told Politico during a flight from Beijing to Guangzhou in China after meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
