French President Emmanuel Macron has convened an emergency meeting of European leaders to discuss the implications of US President Donald Trump’s actions. The meeting, scheduled for Monday in Paris, was revealed by Polish foreign minister Radosław Sikorski at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. Two European Union officials confirmed the development to Politico. Trump’s impact on Nato and European security has been a recurring concern among EU leaders. Macron, however, has maintained a cordial relationship with Trump and expressed a willingness to collaborate with him again following his re-election in November. \”Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity,\” Macron posted on X.X.X on December 14, 2014, during the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. \”It’s a great honour for the French people to welcome you five years later,\” Macron told Trump during the visit, recalling his past support in the wake of the cathedral fire. \”You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position. And we need to respond,\” he added, referring to a Russian military strategy known as razvedka boyem—or \”reconnaissance through battle\”—where a leader pushes boundaries to test reactions before adjusting positions.
