International Relations and Leadership Challenges

France and Britain's leaders are focusing on their relationship with the incoming U.S. administration, particularly concerning Donald Trump's unpredictability. Both leaders, Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron, aim to establish a united front on critical issues including support for Ukraine and addressing migration challenges. They are also wary of Trump's potential influence on NATO and plan to strategize on how to navigate these complexities without alienating the U.S. A critical element of their discussions will include how to maintain cooperation while safeguarding their national interests against Trump's assertive foreign policy.
