According to a readout after the call, Macron and Biden agreed to intensify their dialogue on "major global issues... And in particular on global issues related to the war in Ukraine such as food security."
"Biden conveyed his readiness to continue working closely with President Macron on our shared global priorities," the White House said in a separate statement.
