France's Macron urges Europe to take charge of own defence

French President Emmanuel Macron pushed today for Europe to take more responsibility for its own defence, saying the continent's security shouldn't rely so much on the United States and could even include discussions with Russia.

In a speech to French ambassadors in Paris, Macron said "Europe cannot rely on the United States only for its security. It's up to us to meet our responsibilities and guarantee our security, and therefore European sovereignty."
