US secretary of state to meet Macron as well as British and German politicians and Ukrainian officials
France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, is due to meet the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, in high-level talks in Paris on Thursday as Washington and Europe seek common ground on ending the fighting in Ukraine and averting a conflict with Iran.
A previously unannounced team of senior Ukrainian officials also flew into the French capital to meet the US and European delegations, as Donald Trump’s efforts to arrange a ceasefire three years after Russia invaded its neighbour remained fruitless.
