The French presidency slapped down a report in the Daily Telegraph that the country’s seat on the United Nations Security Council could be put “at the disposal of the European Union” if its governments back Emmanuel Macron’s plans for an EU army.
The Telegraph cited Sandro Gozi, a former Italian Europe minister now serving as a member of the European parliament for Macron’s party, on Tuesday as saying the proposal could be “put on the table” for discussion.
