French President Emmanuel Macron recently visited Washington to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in an effort to secure American support for Europe in discussions with Russia regarding the conflict in Ukraine. Macron characterized the meeting as a 'turning point,' although Trump did not make any commitments during their talks.
