French President Emmanuel Macron is meeting with President Donald Trump Monday morning at the White House.
The meeting comes after Macron called for an emergency gathering of world leaders after the Trump administration excluded Europe from sitting at the negotiating table to settle the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Macron arrived at the White House around 8 a.m. local time Monday and has been inside now for several hours.
The two were expected to participate in a call with G7 leaders.
Trump said Friday that Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer “haven’t done anything” since 2022 to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
“Trump, I know him. I respect him and I believe he respects me,” Macron said the day before. “I will tell him: deep down you cannot be weak in the face of President (Vladimir Putin). It’s not you, it’s not what you’re made of, and it’s not in your interests.”
