French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to visit Washington, DC, next week for discussions with President Donald Trump, according to US national security adviser Mike Waltz in a recent interview. This visit is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts between France and the United States.
Additionally, the White House has confirmed that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will also be in Washington next week for consultations with President Trump. These meetings are significant as world leaders seek to navigate the shifting geopolitical landscape.
European leaders are currently facing challenges in aligning their positions, particularly in response to President Trump's involvement in brokering a peace agreement in Ukraine. Notably, recent talks between Trump and Russia did not involve European representatives, prompting concerns about the exclusion of key stakeholders in the region.
The upcoming discussions between Macron, Starmer, and Trump are expected to cover a range of topics, including international security, trade relations, and potential areas of cooperation. These meetings hold the potential to shape future diplomatic strategies and alliances in the face of evolving global dynamics.
