French President Macron's Visit to Washington
French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to visit Washington next week, as confirmed by national security adviser Mike Waltz. Macron's visit comes in the wake of an emergency meeting in Paris where world leaders gathered to discuss European security challenges posed by the current administration of President Donald Trump.
Concerns Over European Security
During the summit, concerns were raised over Trump's interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with Trump referring to Zelenskyy as a "dictator without elections." European leaders are apprehensive that Trump may favor Russian President Vladimir Putin over longstanding European allies.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also expected to visit Washington next week, as announced by Waltz on Fox News. This visit underscores the ongoing dialogues between European leaders and the United States to address critical security issues.
Peace Deal Prospects for Ukraine
Despite tensions, Waltz remains optimistic about the prospects for a peace deal in Ukraine. He highlighted ongoing engagements with European allies from France, the U.K., and Germany, who are open to providing security guarantees for the country.
Waltz emphasized the importance of European nations stepping up and contributing more to both their defense and Ukraine's defense. He expressed gratitude for the support and willingness of European leaders to enhance security measures in the region.
