US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron held a joint news conference on Monday following their bilateral meeting in the Oval Office. The two leaders also engaged in a call with G7 summit leaders to discuss important global issues.

Macron's visit to the White House coincided with the third-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This significant event underscores the ongoing efforts of European leaders to assert themselves and advocate for Ukraine's interests, particularly in light of their exclusion from recent US-Russia talks aimed at resolving the conflict.
