European leaders are grappling with a changing alliance with the U.S. as President Trump's unexpected approach to Ukraine raises alarms. A meeting in Paris revealed a consensus on the need for Europe to enhance military preparedness and consider sending peacekeepers to Ukraine. While support for Ukraine remains strong, the prospect of deploying troops creates political risks domestically. France's President Macron, once met with skepticism, faces challenges in strengthening his government while advocating for increased military budgets in a financially strained environment. Overall, European leaders must navigate a complex landscape of new obligations and national interests.
Already on the table is the possibility that Britain, France, Germany, and other countries will deploy tens of thousands of troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers.
What is clear is that whatever happens, Europe will have to step up. That could put its leaders in a difficult spot.
