French President Emmanuel Macron sparked online buzz at the G7 summit after revealing a 'difficult' discussion with President Donald Trump ahead of key talks on Ukraine.
Macron made the comment while speaking privately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before a working session involving G7 leaders in Evian-les-Bains, France.
The conversation fueled speculation about tensions between Trump and several European leaders attending the summit.
Despite the earlier uncertainty, Trump later confirmed to reporters that he would meet Zelenskyy during the summit, and the two leaders held a brief discussion at the conclusion of the session.
European officials reportedly used the summit discussions to argue that Russian President Vladimir Putin is in a weaker strategic position and urged Trump to strengthen US support for Ukraine.
