European leaders hold emergency talks in Paris as US and Russia meet in Saudi Arabia

European leaders are holding emergency talks in Paris due to recent shifts in US policy regarding the Ukraine war. This comes as US and Russian officials meet in Saudi Arabia without European or Ukrainian participation. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to discuss improving relations. This meeting may lead to a potential Trump-Putin meeting in the future. French President Emmanuel Macron had a brief call with US President Donald Trump, but Europe remains sidelined in these discussions.
