French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday that "Europe can resist the brutalization of the world" and become a third way, as a growing tension leads to a possible US-China confrontation
"The geopolitical challenge of our century is the growing tension leading to a possible confrontation between the United States and China.
"In this equation, there is a variable that can change everything: Europe’s stance. Without seeking confrontation with either side, Europe can resist the brutalization of the world and chart a distinct path: a third way," Barrot told French daily Liberation.
