Macron, Starmer to meet Trump as Europeans flesh out ideas for Ukraine guarantees
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will travel to Washington next week amid alarm in Europe over US President Donald Trump's hardening stance towards Ukraine and overtures to Moscow on the three-year conflict.
The leaders of Europe's two nuclear powers, who will be travelling separately, are expected to try to convince Trump not to rush to a ceasefire deal with Vladimir Putin at any cost, keep Europe involved and discuss military guarantees to Ukraine.
