Macron calls Trump talks 'very constructive' on Red Sea and Ukraine energy truce

French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday his meeting with US President Donald Trump in New York was "very constructive," focusing on conflicts in Ukraine and the Red Sea. Macron said the Red Sea situation is important for global prices. Macron said he pressed Trump on providing defensive weapons to Ukraine, including missile interceptors, describing Trump as "very amenable." The leaders held detailed discussions on both conflicts, with a French official earlier saying Macron was prepared for "total candor." Macron traveled from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, where he met Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, agreeing to deepen cooperation on energy, security, and climate. He is also scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
