By Sabiu Abdullahi
French President Emmanuel Macron has reportedly convened an “emergency meeting” for European leaders to discuss United States President Donald Trump.
According to Fox News, citing Politico, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski hinted at the planned meeting on Saturday during the Munich Security Conference.
The report states that two European Union officials confirmed to Politico that the meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday.
“I’m very glad that President Macron has called our leaders to Paris,” Sikorski was quoted as saying, adding that the discussions would focus on the implications of Trump’s actions “in a very serious fashion.”
Sikorski has been vocal about US politics in the past.
He previously compared President Joe Biden’s weak debate performance to the decline of ancient Rome.
He also acknowledged Trump’s stance on NATO spending, and agreed that member countries should increase their defense budgets.
The report indicated that Macron has maintained a cordial relationship with Trump since his reelection in November 2024.
The French leader had earlier expressed his willingness to work with Trump, writing on X:“Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump. Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”
Macron also described it as “an honor” to host Trump in December when the US president visited Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
