President Trump met with French President Macron to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump expressed optimism for a resolution within weeks, suggesting President Zelensky could visit the US to finalize a deal granting the US access to Ukraine's mineral resources in exchange for aid repayment. Macron emphasized the need for solid peace guarantees, stating Europe has significantly contributed to Ukraine's financial support. Trump believes Putin would accept European peacekeepers. The US voted against a UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion, alarming European allies. Trump's foreign policy shifts, including demands for territory and resources, raise concerns about transatlantic relations and the future of international bodies.
