Macron says talks with Trump on Red Sea, Ukraine 'constructive'
Macron said Trump was open to talks on stronger air defenses for Ukraine and a possible halt to energy strikes.
- On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron met U.S. President Donald Trump at Trump Tower to discuss accelerating defensive weapon deliveries to Ukraine and addressing Red Sea shipping disruptions.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky reported over 2,000 Russian drone attacks against Ukraine in the past week, intensifying Kyiv's urgent appeals for Western-supplied air-defense interceptors.
- Macron urged faster delivery of interceptors, calling them a "defensive measure," while the U.S. State Department authorized a $2.7 billion sale of air-defense systems to Kyiv.
- Discussions included a potential moratorium on energy infrastructure strikes, though Trump has publicly claimed an agreement is already in place, an assertion Ukrainian authorities view with caution.
- Zelensky is scheduled to meet Trump separately to discuss diplomatic positioning, as Kyiv continues seeking a "verifiable, reciprocal" end to Russian missile and drone attacks on energy infrastructure.
