In a rare moment of unity, France's major political parties have suspended their criticisms of President Emmanuel Macron. This temporary truce follows public attacks from former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The shift comes amid tense talks between Europe and the United States over Greenland. Trump recently expressed strong interest in the autonomous Danish territory, framing the discussions as a confrontation.
French opposition leaders stated they are setting aside partisan disputes in the name of national interest. They are presenting a united front following the remarks from the former U.S. leader.
This political ceasefire in France is seen as a direct response to the escalating tone from abroad. It highlights how external pressures can briefly bridge deep domestic divisions.
