European leaders meet in Paris to discuss security strategy after Trump's Ukraine diplomacy

European leaders met in Paris on Monday for an emergency discussion on security strategy following a week of U.S. diplomatic activity under President Trump. The talks come after Trump’s outreach to Russia raised concerns among European allies about their security commitments. French President Emmanuel Macron hosted leaders from key EU nations and the UK to address the shifting dynamics in U.S.-European relations. The meeting aims to foster unity among European nations in response to recent U.S. actions that have strained traditional partnerships. While there is agreement on increasing defense spending, the specifics remain unclear. Some nations advocate for joint borrowing for defense projects, while others emphasize meeting the existing 2% GDP spending target first.
