France will build a new aircraft carrier for the country’s navy, President Emmanuel Macron announced on Sunday.
"We must be strong in order to be feared, and in particular strong at sea. That is why, in accordance with the last two military programming laws and after a full and thorough review, I have decided to equip France with a new aircraft carrier," Macron said while addressing French troops at a military base in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
