European leaders meet in Paris to address divisions over US policy shift on Ukraine

European leaders met in Paris to discuss their response to a shift in U.S. policy on Ukraine. France and Britain support security guarantees and potential troop deployments, while Germany opposes sending troops during the ongoing conflict. The summit followed U.S. Vice President JD Vance's criticism of the EU and concerns that the U.S. may exclude Europe from peace talks with Russia. Macron emphasized the need for strong security guarantees for Ukraine to avoid past failures. No major agreements were reached at the meeting, but leaders acknowledged a need for European unity in defense. The discussions come as U.S. officials prepare for talks with Russia, raising concerns about the future of transatlantic relations.
