France Defies Trump’s Warning: Macron Pushes Forward with $211 Mn Military Aid Package to Ukraine
France Defies Trump’s Warning.
As the U.S. wavers on military support for Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron steps up, announcing a €195 million ($211 million) military aid package for Kyiv.
French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed the aid will fund critical deliveries of 155-mm artillery shells and AASM gliding bombs for Ukraine’s Mirage 2000 fighter jets.
Additionally, France is fast-tracking the transfer of older military hardware, including tanks and armored vehicles.
This bold move underscores Europe’s growing role in Ukraine’s defense amid shifting U.S. policies under Donald Trump.

French President Emmanuel Macron may soon take a leading role in representing the EU’s interests in potential talks with Russia over the Ukraine conflict, according to a report by The Telegraph. While UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ruled out engagement, Macron is reportedly open to negotiation “when the time is right.” With Washington’s efforts ongoing and Trump hesitant, Europe’s "coalition of the willing" is eyeing Paris to spearhead talks. Moscow has denied receiving formal proposals. Tensions remain high as ceasefire violations continue and fears of NATO escalation grow.

Trump has come out strongly in defense of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen after a Paris court barred her from holding political office for five years. Trump accused European leftists of using “lawfare” to silence opposition, calling the conviction a “witch hunt.” The court found Le Pen guilty of misusing EU funds, a charge she denies as politically motivated. Trump warned the move was “bad for France” and an attack on free speech. Le Pen can no longer challenge Macron in the 2027 French presidential elections.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has raised alarms at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, claiming that the Euro-Atlantic partnership led by Germany, France, and the United Kingdom is setting the stage for a new war.

Trump has launched a fiery attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling for his immediate termination after slamming the Fed’s latest economic report as a “complete mess.” Trump accused Powell of being “too late and wrong” on interest rate policy and compared him unfavorably to the European Central Bank, which just issued its seventh rate cut in a year. The outburst follows Powell’s stark warning that Trump’s sweeping tariffs could drive the U.S. into stagflation. With Powell’s term running through 2026 and legal protections in place, Trump’s demand has ignited a constitutional debate over presidential power and the independence of America’s central bank.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: “The West as we knew it no longer exists.” In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trump’s aggressive tariffs—20% on EU goods and 25% on cars—for collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance. As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners. Von der Leyen says 87% of the world’s trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power. Is the era of a united West truly over?
