Ahead of the Notre-Dame Cathedral reopening ceremony, French President Emmanuel Macron held a trilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US president-elect Donald Trump in Paris.
Axar.az reports that citing France 24, the trilateral on Saturday came shortly after Trump had a bilateral meeting with Macron at the Élysée presidential palace.
"It seems like the world is going a little crazy right now and we will be talking about that," Trump told reporters as he prepared to sit down for talks with Macron.
Zelensky arrived at the French presidential palace around 45 minutes after Trump.
The French presidential office said the three-way meeting was proposed by Macron and arranged shortly before Trump’s arrival. Trump has pledged to end the war in Ukraine swiftly but has not specified how, raising concerns in Kyiv about what terms may be laid out for any future negotiations.
Trump’s visit to France, part of a global a celebration of the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral five years after a devastating fire, came as Macron and other European leaders are trying to win Trump’s favour and persuade him to maintain support for Ukraine in its defence against Russia’s invasion.
