Bloomberg agency stated that the latest events around Ukraine could provoke a confrontation between the French president and the head of the White House, the NBN publication reports.
The article notes that the US President's geopolitical statements are causing concern among America's allies. At the same time, against this backdrop, Macron has once again come to the forefront of world politics and is regaining influence after losing his parliamentary majority due to early elections in 2024.
The head of France is making every effort to unite European leaders to help Ukraine. However, such actions by the politician exacerbate the confrontation with Trump, who wants to quickly end the war for the sake of establishing economic and political relations with the Russian Federation.
The Kremlin dictator demands a halt to all Western aid to Ukraine. According to journalists, European leaders are not ready to agree to Putin's condition, which French government spokesperson Sophie Primas called “unrealistic”. Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer have united more than 30 countries to ensure peace in Ukraine after a possible ceasefire.
At the same time, the head of France is actively negotiating with Trump and Zelensky. The agency's interlocutors note that the representative of Paris believes that it is possible to find the right argument for the US president to influence his decision.
Recall that the media reported the condition that Putin put forward to Trump for a 30-day truce with Ukraine.
