French President Macron calls ’emergency meeting’ of world leaders to discuss Trump: Report

According to a European official, French President Emmanuel Macron will convene a “emergency meeting” for European leaders to discuss President Donald Trump.

According to Politico, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski mentioned the meeting at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. Two EU insiders told the newspaper that the meeting would take place on Monday.

“I’m very glad that President Macron has called our leaders to Paris,” Sikorski was quoted as saying, noting that the event would involve talking about the implications of Trump’s actions “in a very serious fashion.”

“President Trump has a method of operating which the Russians call razvedka boyem – reconnaissance through battle. You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position…And we need to respond,” the Polish official added.

Sikorski has already spoken openly about American politics. He compared President Biden’s dismal debate performance to the decline of ancient Rome and once told MSNBC reporter Andrea Mitchell that Trump was “right” when he said NATO members should pay more on their own defence.

Macron has been friendly with Trump since the Republican was elected in November. In an X post, the French leader underlined his openness to collaborate with the president-elect.

“Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump,” Macron’s post read. “Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”

When Trump visited Paris in December to attend the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, Macron described it as “an honour” to have him.

“It’s a great honor for French people to welcome you five years later,” Macron said of Trump. “And you were, at that time, president for the first time. And I remember the solidarity and your immediate action. So, welcome back again. We are very happy to have you here.”
