BTW, here's Macron today from the White House (he's here right now)

YouTube: President Trump Holds a Press Conference with President Emmanuel Macron of France (The White House)
As the President just said, there are many challenges in the world. Over the past few days, we have one primary objective, which is the geopolitical situation. Mr. President, I really wish to thank you for making changes to your schedule to meet with us so quickly.

I think we've made very substantive steps forward in our discussions and this is a major step in what we're experiencing today. We had a video conference with all of the G7 leaders, which was an opportunity for us to discuss this matter three days [sic] after the Russian war in Ukraine and to express our support for President Zelenskyy to the Ukrainian people but also to speak with and share about our desire for a lasting peace.

This is what we have spoken about very forcefully over the last few weeks. We thought that this war was only going to last a few weeks when it broke out in 2022, we admire greatly the courage of the Ukrainian people. And Mr. President, I wish to thank you for this. You mentioned that there are responsibilities on Europe's side, and indeed, we have invested 128 billion in aid to Ukraine and the Ukrainians. Ukraine has been able to hold the front of our collective security. It's fought over these past few years for its independence and for its sovereignty but also for our collective security because I think that no one in this room wants to live in a world that it's the law of the strongest and that international borders can be violated from one day to the next by anyone.

You still want to believe that Trump is going it completely alone here? And that he's not listening to the Europeans?
