It comes as the French President defended his manifesto in the 2019 European elections, insisting Brussels must increase efforts to build a new EU-wide army.
Mr Macron repeatedly urged the block should arm itself with a defence force to stop relying on the US and NATO on matters of security.
He cited increasing Russian animosity as the main cause of concern fuelling his demands.

“When France went to the Sahel region in 2013, it did this alone.

“It was empires that were at the origin of World War I, not nations.”
The creation of an EU army has been a long-term plan with the President of European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, outlining in 2017 his vision for a “permanent structured cooperation in the defence field” and claimed it was “well on the way”.
He said at the time: “By 2025 we will need a functioning European Defence Union. We need it and NATO would like us to have it.”
