European leaders face challenges in navigating U.S. foreign policy under Trump

European leaders are grappling with the impact of a more chaotic U.S. under President Trump, as they meet in Paris to discuss their role in Ukraine's future. Concerns about U.S. foreign policy and its implications for Europe dominate discussions. At the Munich Security Conference, leaders expressed worries about the U.S. administration's approach, with some suggesting that Europe must increase defense spending to regain U.S. interest. The divide remains on whether the U.S.-Europe relationship can be repaired. The situation is complicated by differing views on Russia's intentions and the need for a credible European defense strategy. European leaders are considering how to respond effectively to U.S. demands while addressing their own security needs.
