The French president was among the European leaders who visited the White House to present a united front in support of Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron shared his reaction to Donald Trump’s declaration that Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to strike a deal to end his war in Ukraine because of him, during a conversation between the two men caught on a hot mic Monday.
European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, descended on Washington, D.C., a few days after the Trump-Putin meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, to present a united front in support of Ukraine and make sure Kyiv does not get pressured into an unfavorable agreement that rewards Putin’s aggression.
During the impromptu defense summit at the White House, Trump was caught on a hot mic, telling Macron: “I think [Putin] wants to make a deal for me. Do you understand? As crazy as it sounds.”
In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, Macron said it was “great” hearing Trump be optimistic about his ability to broker peace between Moscow and Kyiv.
“Your president, indeed, is very confident about the capacity he has to get this deal done, which is a good news for all of us,” Macron said.
