Attal Calls for a 'United States of Europe'
Attal says eight to 10 willing countries could converge taxes, labor rules and business law while keeping national control over defense and security.
- On Thursday, Former French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal proposed creating a "United States of Europe," envisioning an economic powerhouse capable of competing with the United States and China.

- While trailing in recent polling behind Philippe and Glucksmann, Attal explicitly left the door open for Britain to join the project "one day" if it freely chooses to participate.
