French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday briefed his fellow European Union leaders on his recent talks with US President Donald Trump in Washington.
On Monday, Macron became the first European leader to be received at the White House by Trump since he began his second term in office.
According to an EU official, Macron spoke about his visit to Washington during a press conference.
European Council President António Costa, who organised the video conference, said the exchange was very useful in preparing for a special EU summit next Thursday.
Costa added that decisions on the EU’s support for Ukraine and the strengthening of European defence are expected to be made at next week’s gathering.
In Washington, Macron urged that Europeans, who were excluded from recent talks on Ukraine between US and Russian representatives, should be more closely involved in negotiations.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also expected at the White House on Thursday.
