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 European Union 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, including Germany, Italy, and Poland. While there is agreement on increasing defense spending, the specifics remain unclear. Some nations want joint borrowing for defense projects, while others believe countries should first meet the existing 2% spending target.
