🇫🇷🇬🇧 FRANCE TURNS SOFT-EYED TOWARD GREAT BRITAIN

After years of tensions linked to Brexit, Paris seems to want to get closer to London. France is multiplying diplomatic gestures toward its British neighbor, as the two countries have an increasing interest in cooperating in the face of economic, security, and geopolitical challenges.

This rapprochement does not mean that differences have disappeared. But in a world shaped by war in Europe, trade tensions, and geopolitical uncertainty, London and Paris are rediscovering the value of a closer relationship.

The French message appears clear: after Brexit, it may be time to turn rivalry into a partnership.

The Channel still separates the two countries. But politically, Paris would like it to become far less deep.
