'America, with this president, is not our ally. Trump is a liar': French MEP Bernard Guetta

FRANCE 24 English drew roughly 10.6 million views over the week, the third-largest weekly gain among the neighboring news channels here. Associated Press had a particularly busy week, while Guardian News' daily viewing stayed close to its usual level. FRANCE 24's own daily audience is substantially above its typical pace, although its subscriber count remained unchanged.

Across fifteen uploads, the biggest new audience went to Bernard Guetta. The veteran journalist and Renew group MEP argues that America under Donald Trump cannot be treated as an ally. He criticizes Trump's account of responsibility for diesel prices and says reduced American intelligence sharing leaves Ukraine weaker. These are Guetta's assessments, delivered in an interview whose title makes its bluntness clear.

That conversation sits alongside two related perspectives: Europe Editor Armen Georgian's Brussels report on Volodymyr Zelensky's criticism of Trump's diesel deal with Russia, and former Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves' call for Europe to act collectively rather than through narrowly national interests.

The Guetta interview also carries the most daily momentum among individual uploads, followed by Navodita Kumari's New Delhi report on the detention of youth-movement leader Abhijeet Dipke and Georgian's Zelensky coverage.

Elsewhere, Shirli Sitbon reports on the Yellow Vests' call to join student demonstrations in France. The week's geographic range remains broad, but European security supplies its clearest recurring conversation.
