**Macron on “how he spent his summer,” as posted by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on her Telegram channel:**

_“A key factor in European competitiveness was the very cheap gas coming from Russia. That ended in 2022. But our main export market was China. That ended too. Europe now has a trade deficit with China. Every day, we lose €1 billion in trade with China."

“Two years ago, several countries were still net exporters. Germany, for example, remained a net exporter to China until 2025. But that too is over, even for Germany.”

“The audience applauds, applauds, and then stops applauding.”_
