  • In an EU defence meeting in Brussels, French president Emmanuel Macron told reporters: 'If we are attacked in terms of trade, Europe - as a true power - will have to stand up for itself and therefore react.'

The video from MSN discusses a controversial move by Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump to potentially shut down the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The report highlights concerns over the implications of such a decision, suggesting that it could significantly impact global aid programs, particularly in areas like health, democracy, and emergency aid. Critics argue that this move might be politically motivated, aiming to redirect funds or reduce what they perceive as unnecessary foreign aid. The video also touches on the reactions from various stakeholders, including international leaders and organizations, who express worry over the potential reduction in U.S. support for global development initiatives. The narrative includes perspectives on how this could affect America's standing on the world stage and the welfare of millions dependent on USAID's programs.
