A contribution to #Europeansovereignty or subsidy madness? Taiwanese chip producer TSMC builds €10bn production site in Dresden, Saxony. Subsidies by the German state: €5 bn.

All the people attacking Macron's #EuropeanSovereignty comments with "But Europe doesn't spend enough on its own defence and relies on America!" 🙄

That is exactly the point Macron is making and the situation he wants to change.

France and the Netherlands suddenly have a lot in common as Europe's economic security trumps older frictions ahead of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit this week.

Macron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte plan to announce several pacts to work together on semiconductors, quantum computing and nuclear energy as well as a so-called "pact for innovation and sustainable growth”.

I’m the first to jump on a new #Macron interview and analyse it to death but these statements are just becoming unhelpful. Nothing achieved for actual #EuropeanSovereignty, a lot of trust lost in various quarters.
I think I’ll just sit this one out. Sigh.

Emmanuel Macron: the man who would be king.

How the French president became the most powerful leader in Europe and a hyperactive player on the world stage.
