Starmer and Macron Forge Stronger UK-France Defence Ties Amid Trump Concerns

UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Armistice Day to discuss bolstering European defence in light of a potential second Donald Trump presidency. The talks also focused on reaffirming both nations' unwavering support for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict. Starmer's visit marked the first time a UK leader attended the Armistice Day ceremony in Paris since Winston Churchill in 1944, symbolizing a renewed commitment to UK-France relations. The discussions come at a critical time as Europe braces for potential shifts in US foreign policy under Trump.
