France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

Donald Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace said.
