On Monday French President Emmanuel Macron met with President Donald Trump in the White House to try and persuade him to be more adversarial to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting comes one week after the frenchman met with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss how to continue their war against Russia in Ukraine. While Trump’s Parisian guest was being hosted at the Presidential mansion, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau along with about a dozen Western leaders met Ukrainian Dictator Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev, Ukraine, in a bid to keep the war against Russia going. Some even bribed the dictator with money for continuing his war.
“More than a dozen Western leaders attended events in Ukraine on Monday marking the third anniversary of the country’s war with Russia, many pledging more military aide in a conspicuous show of support for Kyiv as uncertainty deepened over the commitment of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to helping it fend off Russia’s invasion,” the AP said Monday. “The guests had similar messages: Ukraine and its European partners must be consulted in any peace negotiations, Putin’s ambitions must be thwarted, and Europe must take on more of the burden for its own defense.”
Macron brought with him to Washington the message of war.
“Trump, I know him. I respect him and I believe he respects me,” Macron said Sunday. “I will tell him: deep down you cannot be weak in the face of President (Putin). It’s not you, it’s not what you’re made of, and it’s not in your interests.”
Around 8 am on Monday the Frenchman arrived at the White House. He has been inside for several hours now, according to Fox News. Trump and Macron were expected to participate in a call with G7 leaders, according to Fox News.
Trump had blocked Western Europeans from the peace negotiations between the U.S. and Russia, as the Western Europeans want war, not peace.
On Friday Trump discussed how Marcon and Starmer had done nothing to stop the Ukraine war over the last few years, something Trump has also said about Ukraine’s Dictator Vladimir Zelensky.
The Europeans actually found any way they could to throw fuel on the fire, such as both the U.K. and France hitting Russia with long-range nuclear-capable conventional-tipped missiles launched from Ukraine, following similar apocalyptic actions from the then-lame-duck Joe Biden regime. Now they seek to throw money at the problem.
“In her remarks, von der Leyen unveiled a €3.5 billion package of EU financial assistance to inject additional liquidity into Ukraine’s strained budget and facilitate, among other things, the purchase of military equipment from its domestic industry,” EuroNews said Monday. “The €3.5 billion is an advance on a larger €50-billion assistance fund that the European Union established in early 2024, dubbed ‘the Ukraine Facility.'”
“Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said his country would provide a 1 billion-euro ($1.04 billion) military systems package to Ukraine this year,” the AP said Monday.
The European bribery money comes following the dictator signing over half his mineral rights to the U.S. in exchange for security guarantees and the dictator promising to step down from power.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio had recently described Ukrainian Dictator Zelensky’s behavior as ‘snakelike‘ during the peace negotiations.
