The Western world "has been cracking since the American election" in November, but Europe still needs the U.S. and the world needs Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron said ahead of Donald Trump's visit to France this week.

"The United States expresses doubts about multilateralism, the U.N., the WTO and the climate," Macron said in an interview with regional daily Ouest France published Thursday. "The world order of 1945, recomposed after the fall of the Berlin Wall, is now in crisis ... In this context, Europe is an absolute necessity."

Trump is scheduled to attend Bastille Day celebrations in Paris Friday. Ahead of his meeting with the U.S. president, Macron again criticized Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, but told Ouest France: "I will do everything to convince the cities, the states, American entrepreneurs to follow us. Americans will be a part of the Paris agreement, whether the government wants to or not."

Macron also used the interview to outline his plans for eurozone reforms ahead of a meeting between the French and German cabinets in Paris Thursday. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is also scheduled to meet Macron.

Macron said Germany "benefits from dysfunctions in the eurozone" and called on the country to back reforms.

"I have never criticized Germany for being competitive," Macron said. "But part of German competitiveness is due to the dysfunctions of the euro area and the weakness of other economies." Berlin has "a shared responsibility to give the eurozone the future it deserves. It must move, as France must move," he said.
