European leaders meet in Paris to discuss response to Trump administration's Ukraine strategy

gazette.com

French President Emmanuel Macron has called an emergency meeting with leaders from key EU nations and the UK in Paris. The meeting aims to address the recent diplomatic actions of the Trump administration regarding Ukraine and Russia. The U.S. has shifted its approach, with Trump holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and sidelining European allies in Ukraine discussions. This has prompted European leaders to reassess their security strategies and defense spending. While the meeting is expected to show unity among European leaders, no firm decisions are anticipated. Discussions will focus on increasing defense spending and addressing differing views on joint borrowing for defense projects.
