Macron in Damascus: France bets on a post-Assad reconstruction that Paris, not Brussels, wants to lead

Desk note: Wire reporting on the 6 July 2026 Macron visit centred on the protocol fact of the first Western head-of-state trip to post-Assad Syria. Monexus reads the same data through a reconstruction-politics lens: who sets the terms under which a destroyed economy is rebuilt, and on whose legal architecture those terms rest.
