French President Emmanuel Macron has urged Europe to reduce its economic dependence on the US and China, calling for more common EU debt and reforms to strengthen the bloc's industry. He also criticized Elon Musk as "over-subsidized" during a discussion about supporting domestic European businesses. Chancellor Friedrich Merz agreed on the need for economic reforms but pushed back against Macron's proposal for additional shared EU debt.
