French President Emmanuel Macron is traveling to Washington to meet with President Donald Trump on Monday as European leaders look to shore up transatlantic alliances. The two are scheduled to hold a joint news conference in the afternoon.

On a visit to the White House on Monday, the French president is expected to detail proposals by Paris and London to deploy troops in Ukraine to guarantee a ceasefire. A plan that presupposes the support of the US.

As Macron sits down to talks with Trump, the European Union and its closest allies will be staging a show of force in Kyiv on Monday, designed to signal that the bloc stands firmly behind Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy even as the White House turns against him and aligns with Russia’s talking points.
