This week, Emmanuel Macron convened an urgent meeting with European leaders in Paris to address escalating international tensions due to the Trump administration's actions relating to Ukraine. Macron, advocating for increased European responsibility in defence since 2017, faced challenges in uniting leaders against Russian and US threats. Although his conference yielded limited tangible outcomes, expert John Lichfield suggests deeper dynamics may exist. Macron also participated in a live stream to discuss European security and expressed solidarity with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, contrasting him with Russian leadership's oppressive tactics.
Macron's urgent meeting with European leaders highlighted the ongoing threats from the US and Russia, underscoring the need for Europe to take defence responsibilities seriously.
Despite Macron's efforts to foster unity in European defence, his lack of concrete results from the conference raises questions about future cooperation among European leaders.
