US EditionMacron tells Davos of a 'shift towards a world without rules'
Macron criticized US coercive trade tactics and called for the European Union to use its anti-coercion instrument to protect sovereignty and economic interests.
- On Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, French President Emmanuel Macron wore aviator-style sunglasses while delivering his speech, shown in live WEF images behind reflective shades.
- French media reported the redness was caused by a burst blood vessel in one eye, and Macron told troops at the Istres air base earlier this month, `It is, of course, something completely harmless.`
- Macron opened a meeting on Monday saying `Apologies for the shades, but I have to wear them for a while` and cited a mild eye condition after wearing sunglasses several times this week.
- Photos and screen grabs from the WEF live feed went viral on Tuesday, prompting questions about Macron's health and optics as he urged stronger European autonomy amid tensions after President Donald Trump leaked private messages and Macron declined to meet him.
- His Davos remarks tied his appearance to calls for stronger European autonomy and warned international law was being trampled amid more than 60 wars in 2024.
