Visit to France
Trump, Macron and Zelenskyj meet in Paris
Donald Trump is using his first trip abroad after winning the election to start discussions about the future of Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron, US President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in Paris for a three-way meeting. They met at the Élysée Palace after Macron had previously held bilateral talks with Trump.
Trump is currently a guest in France – on his first trip abroad since winning the election at the beginning of November. In the evening, at Macron’s invitation, he wants to take part in the ceremonial reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral. On January 20th, Trump will be sworn in as president.
There is great fear in Ukraine that Trump could drastically reduce US military aid to the country attacked by Russia, thus causing a defeat for Kiev. The USA is still Ukraine’s most important supporter and largest arms supplier. There are also fears in many EU states that Trump could enforce an unbalanced ceasefire agreement that could effectively make Russia and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin appear to be the victors of the war of aggression.
