German Scholz and French Macron to Discuss Trump’s Policies, War in Ukraine, and the Middle East

On Wednesday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz travelled to the French capital, Paris, to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron two days after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump.

The main topic of discussion is likely to be Europe's positioning with the United States in light of the new Trump administration, followed by the war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict, DW reports.

The meeting will mark the anniversary of the 1963 Elysee Treaty, signed between post-World War II leaders Konrad Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle.

French President Macron is expected to receive the German leader at the Elysee Palace around noon.
