French President intends to tell Donald Trump that it’s in the joint interest of Americans and Europeans not to “be weak” in the face of Vladimir Putin.

"Trump, I know him. I respect him and I believe he respects me," Macron said during a one-hour question and answer session on social media. "I will tell him: deep down you cannot be weak in the face of President (Vladimir Putin). It's not you, it's not what you're made of and it's not in your interests."

U.S. President Donald Trump will host meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday and with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.
