In his opinion, Europeans should accept this prospect, and not be afraid. De Croo also noted that Europe must become "more sovereign, stronger and more autonomous."
This remark is related toFrance**Macron's views are in line with Macron's views, and Macron has publicly expressed his support for "European strategic autonomy". He pointed out that Europe cannot be overly dependent on the United States and should maintain independence and sovereignty in areas such as energy and security in order to shape its own destiny. Macron believes that Europe could become a "third superpower", leading the implementation of European "strategic autonomy".
In fact, Belgium is not the first country to support European "independence". Many Western countries have a similar attitude. On the issue of "European strategic autonomy," France is the most supportive. Last year, after his visit to China, Macron said that Europe should not be overly dependent on the United States and should remain independent so as not to face the risk of "withdrawing from history". France is likely to take the lead in implementing European "strategic autonomy" in an effort to become a "third superpower."

Against a backdrop of constant change and development, Europe is facing unprecedented challenges. Europe's strategic autonomy is essential to preserve economic sovereignty. Only by being independent will Europe be able to choose its own partners and have a greater say in choosing its development path and who to work with.
The question of Europe's independence is not only about the fate of Europe, but also has an important impact on the world pattern.
