In a swift response to President Donald Trump’s announcement on Monday regarding his intention to expedite peace talks and resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, European leaders are organizing a meeting in Britain.
The aim is to solidify a unified European stance that can effectively communicate their concerns to both the United States and Russia.
Sources, who wished to remain anonymous, indicated that the gathering could take place as early as Sunday. This meeting would follow recent summits held in Paris, where French President Emmanuel Macron engaged in discussions with various European leaders. However, the plans are still tentative and may be subject to change, with a virtual meeting also being considered as an alternative.
European officials are currently involved in a concerted diplomatic effort to dissuade President Trump from hastily agreeing to a cease-fire deal with Russia. There is widespread apprehension among European nations that such a move could embolden Moscow and jeopardize regional security. Macron’s recent meeting with Trump at the White House on Monday evening underscores the urgency of these discussions, while UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is scheduled to meet with the US president in Washington on Thursday.
The upcoming meeting aims to provide leaders with an opportunity to assess their recent conversations with Trump and his administration, ensuring that Europe presents a cohesive front in these critical negotiations.
