"Trump says NATO is obsolete organization"
"Trump says NATO is obsolete"
"Trump says NATO is obsolete but still 'very important to me'"
Trump says about NATO "I said it was obsolete. It's no longer obsolete"

Well changing one's mind makes sense, sometimes.

What Macron also means is that the NATO is now essentially unfit for its purpose, and looking at it i have to agree. Also, how should any country depend on the US when its president changes his mind twice a day.
France and the EU should make treaties and trade with Russia, competition that the US of course cannot like. On the other hand it does not make much sense to ship US liquid gas over the Atlantic to fuel european powerplants. Neither economical, nor ecological.

edit just saw this: Coal power becoming uninsurable
USA is pulling out. "Lloyd’s, the world’s biggest insurance market, is the only major European firm which continues to insure new coal projects."
