UK PM Keir Starmer is slated to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet Donald Trump later this week.

Macron is set to discuss the security guarantees for Ukraine, peace talks, and the need not to seek peace at any cost.

He’s the first European leader that Trump has hosted since his return to office on 20 January.

Before traveling to Washington D.C. Macron had talks with Starmer and EC’s President Ursula von der Leyen. She’s visiting Ukraine on the 3rd anniversary since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
