European leaders pressed their priorities in a call with Trump organized by Germany Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday. They spoke first with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who traveled to Berlin, and then Trump joined. The call was intended to shape Trump’s thinking before the Alaska summit on Friday, with the anxious Europeans well aware that Trump in the past has seemed to fall under Putin’s spell.
European leaders emerged heralding the conversation as unifying.
French President Emmanuel Macron said Trump was “very clear” on Wednesday that he wants to obtain a ceasefire, and he said that Trump agreed that Ukraine should be involved in any talks on territory.
Macron said that Trump also assured the Europeans that he would later seek a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky.
