Donald Trump Meets Macron and Zelenskyy in Paris to Discuss Ukraine Conflict

The president-elect's first international trip since his election includes talks on Ukraine's future, as Biden's administration announces a major military aid package.

Donald Trump, set to become U.S. president on January 20, held a trilateral meeting in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy described the talks as productive, emphasizing the need for a just resolution to the conflict and highlighting the importance of continued collaboration among the three leaders.
The Biden administration announced a $988 million military aid package for Ukraine, aiming to deliver all congressionally approved funds before the presidential transition in January.
Concerns are growing in Ukraine and Europe over the potential shift in U.S. policy under Trump, who has hinted at a drastic reduction in military aid and a rapid resolution to the war, though details remain unclear.
The meeting coincided with the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral, where Trump, Macron, Zelenskyy, and other global figures attended a high-profile ceremony amid political challenges for Macron in France.
