France BETRAYS Ally Ukraine | Refuses to Join U.S Weapons aid initiative for Kyiv | Zelensky SHOCKED

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive. #France #Macron #UkraineWar #NATO #Trump #USWeapons #UkraineRussiaWar #DefensePolicy #EuropeanAutonomy #FranceVsNATO #MacronStance #UkraineAid #EUDefense #NATOFunding #TrumpPlan #RussiaUkraine #FranceSnubsNATO #DefenseSpending #StrategicAutonomy #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #UkraineSupport #GermanyBacksPlan #CzechRepublic #Hungary #NATODivide #USArmsDeal #FranceFirst #Geopolitics #MacronVsTrump Also Read India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc France and Africa Revisit Colonial Past as Reparations Dialogue Gains Momentum :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/france-and-africa-revisit-colonial-past-as-reparations-dialogue-gains-momentum-7800969.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi’s ‘Twitter’ Joke To Macron At G7 Summit Goes Viral — Watch The Candid Moment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-s-twitter-joke-to-macron-at-g7-summit-goes-viral-watch-the-candid-moment-4184813.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~
