French President Emmanuel Macron is set to meet with Donald Trump as tensions rise over Trump's willingness to engage with Russian President Vladimir Putin independently of Europe. Macron emphasizes that European security is paramount, especially given Russia's military escalation. He seeks to leverage his unique rapport with Trump to assert the necessity of a strong stance against Putin. While Macron's past attempts to influence Trump have faltered, he remains determined, advocating that Trump must not appear weak in this approach.
I'm going to tell him: 'You can't be weak with President Putin. That's not who you are, it's not your trademark, it's not in your interest'.
Macron has formed a unique relationship with the US president, which gives him an advantage over other leaders in influencing Trump's approach.
