PARIS, Feb 10 — French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Europe to boost investment in strategic sectors or risk being “swept aside” in the face of competition from the United States and China, in an interview published today.

The French leader warned that US “threats” and “intimidation” were not over and urged against complacency, in an interview with several European publications including France’s Le Monde, English language publications The Economist and The Financial Times, and Germany’s Suddeutsche Zeitung.
