Now, Du Filipan—a conservative French statesman who served as foreign minister in 2003—insisted, “It may be time for Washington to listen.”
He warned that the invasion unleashed countless unforeseen consequences, including the daunting challenge of rebuilding a shattered Iraq.
Now 71 and eyeing a potential presidential run in France in 2027, Du Filipan carries a message meant to counter the arrogance of the current American administration—a message reminiscent of his criticisms on the eve of the Iraq War.
On Ukraine, Du Filipan expressed bafflement over the concessions President Trump has made to Russian President Vladimir Putin, especially given Russia’s ongoing economic challenges amid the conflict. He accused Trump of “succumbing to narcissism,” which forces him to make undue concessions.
Du Filipan warned that Trump’s policies could usher in “a new era of chaos” with severe economic and strategic repercussions similar to those that followed the Iraq invasion.
Challenging the notion that one can discard principles, values, and laws for a “law of the jungle,” Du Filipan called this approach “the greatest folly of this American administration.” He predicted that such a strategy will ultimately isolate the United States and render it “despised” on the global stage.
He expressed dismay at Trump’s contempt for the post-1945 global order and his disregard for Europe’s security, urging Europe to declare a state of emergency.
