France's new prime minister Michel Barnier promises to respond to 'anger' of the people
President Emmanuel Macron named Michel Barnier as France’s new prime minister on Thursday, hoping the Brexit negotiator and veteran conservative can work with the country's bitterly divided legislature and end the political turmoil that has roiled Macron's presidency.
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.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a significant boost to France’s defense budget, citing Russia as the primary threat to national and European security. Speaking ahead of Bastille Day, Macron warned that freedom hasn’t faced such a dire threat since 1945.

Donald Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace said. The House of Commons will not be sitting at the time of the visit as it will be in recess for party conference season, meaning the US president will not be able to address Parliament as French president Emmanuel Macron did in July.

Nigel Farage says the UK-France migrant returns deal “won’t make any difference” and will be blocked by human rights laws.
