They are both right. Macron is talking about not buying US weapons. Scholz is talking about cooperating with the UK, Norway and Turkey. Yes we should but European, but as a French general explained in a France 24 debate a couple of days ago there are certain items that we will need to buy from America in the short term as their are no European alternatives (e.g. P8 Poseidon, E3 Wedgetail).

We also shouldnโ€™t rule out cooperation with Japan, RoK, Australia and Canada.

Ackchually.. (adjusts glasses)

The E-3 AWACS is called Sentry and is the model that France and the UK currently operate. The more modern Wedgetail AWACS' model name is E-7
