His return to power leads the French to realize that unity is vital, the French Prime Minister said.
On Monday, French Prime Minister François Bayrou warned of the “incredibly domineering” plans of Donald Trump, who will be sworn in as U.S. President today.

He accused the Republican politician of wanting to monopolize “all the research and all the investment in the world,” which threatens France and Europe.
“If we do nothing, our destiny will be to be dominated, crushed, and marginalized,” said the head of the French government in a statement to journalists.
Bayrou said that Trump “has defined an incredibly domineering industrial policy that, through the dollar, seeks to capture all the research and investment in the world.”
Opposing these plans “depends on us, the French and the Europeans, because obviously without Europe it is impossible to do so,” he pointed out.
The Prime Minister appealed to a reaction that, in the case of France, involves “bringing together all compatible sensibilities” without “submission or alignment” but that “agree to work together.”
Currently, however, Bayrou does not have a parliamentary majority, which forces him to seek support in order to be able to push through any political initiative. The centrist politician said that Trump’s return to power leads the French to “realize that unity is vital.”
