European leaders meet in Paris to discuss security strategy after Trump’s diplomatic push on Ukraine

French President Emmanuel Macron has called an emergency meeting with leaders from key EU nations and the UK on Monday. This follows a week of U.S. diplomatic efforts under President Trump that have raised concerns among European allies. The meeting aims to address Europe's security challenges after Trump’s talks with Russian President Putin and comments questioning European defense commitments. Macron hopes to foster unity among European leaders amid these tensions. While EU nations agree on increasing defense spending, there is disagreement on how to achieve this. Some countries want joint borrowing for defense projects, while others believe lagging nations should meet the 2% spending goal first.
