In Gently Correcting Trump, Macron Sends a Message on Ukraine Peace Deal
Briefly

French President Emmanuel Macron visited the White House to address growing tensions between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. Macron emphasized the need to avoid a world dominated by force and encouraged cooperation to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. Despite Trump's proposal for Ukraine to yield mineral rights as a payback for U.S. aid and recent critical remarks about Zelensky, Macron's diplomatic approach reflects a desire for renewed negotiations and global unity against aggression, highlighting the complexities of U.S.-European relations in the face of Trump's unyielding policies.

European leaders have grown increasingly alarmed by Trump's vocal criticism of Zelenky and Trump's turn toward Moscow.
