Pierre de Gaulle, grandson of former French President Charles de Gaulle, issued a stark geopolitical warning today, demanding France immediately join the BRICS alliance and completely sever its strategic relationship with the United States. He condemned the US as 'aggressive and unpredictable' in its global power play, advocating for a multipolar world order as Trump-era trade wars and political friction with Europe intensify. De Gaulle argued that BRICS membership would transform France into a key interstate union, ensuring a democratic balance of power independent of Western hegemony.

Will France Join BRICS?

French President Emmanuel Macron was keen to attend the BRICS summit in 2023 in Russia’s Kazan. However, China and Russia blocked him from attending the event, citing that he could sabotage the summit. Developing countries were skeptical of the West during that period as de-dollarization was in full swing.

In January, Macron said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that France will build bridges with BRICS. He also called other European Union countries to join the bandwagon. Macron stressed that there is an imbalance in the G7 bloc and Europe must stabilize with developing nations.
