French President Emmanuel Macron said he’ll enter into talks to use France’s nuclear capabilities to defend European allies. “Our nuclear deterrent protects us,” Macron said in a televised address Wednesday. “I have decided to open the strategic debate on the protection, through our deterrent, of our allies on the European continent.” EU leaders are meeting today to discuss ways to unlock billion of euros to boost European and Ukrainian security, with a notable opposition from the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In China, economic leaders have been outlining fiscal measures as part of the National People’s Congress. China’s top economic officials said they have carved out plenty of room to act in the face of uncertainty and risks.
