Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Running and hiding from problems is no way to run a country.
everyone has to be someplace
where are you?
No way to be running a country, but Macron has been hiding in the closet for 45 years, so lots of practive.
What on earth can Trudeau 2.0 possibly accomplish or gain by visiting China? He has nothing to offer and his stance on things very clear. Waste of time and money
He is a message boy for nato. He has been the one pushing for negotiated settlements in the past. He is probably acting as a back channel.
But then again, maybe not, maybe this is nothing more than French political deflection work.

Knowing its France, its probably to make the deals on how to help build nuclear plants or nukes. As usual.
That I can see
Macron rhymes with moron. Sorry for the idiots who don't deserve the comparison.
