The head of the French army, Fabien Mandon, described Trump’s USA as an increasingly “unpredictable” ally, after the American administration decided to attack Iran without warning or informing its European allies at all, NBC News reports.
“We were taken by surprise by an American ally, who remains an ally, but is becoming increasingly unpredictable and doesn’t even bother to inform us when it decides to launch a military operation,” Fabien Mandon said on Tuesday, quoted by Reuters, at a defense and security conference in Paris.
Diplomatic relations between France and the USA have tightened during Donald Trump’s second presidential term at the White House.
Trump has repeatedly questioned the role of NATO and caused concern among European leaders when he threatened to annex Greenland.
The US President, Donald Trump, recently launched an unprecedented attack on the North Atlantic Alliance, shortly after publicly stating that he is “reassessing” his country’s participation in NATO, due to the refusal of most of the organization’s members to get involved in the Middle East war.
