Macron says talks with Trump on Red Sea, Ukraine 'constructive'

  • On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron met U.S. President Donald Trump at Trump Tower in New York to discuss Ukraine's war and Red Sea security on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
  • Macron urged Trump to accelerate deliveries of interceptor missiles, emphasizing that reinforcing air defense systems remains critical to protect Ukrainian energy infrastructure from Russian strikes.
  • On September 18, the U.S. State Department approved a $2.7 billion sale of air defense systems including S-300 Clone and GAM-67 missiles to Ukraine, providing equipment Kyiv had requested.
  • Trump claimed both sides agreed to halt energy infrastructure strikes, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky remains cautious, conditioning any truce on verifiable Russian compliance with attacks on civilian targets.
  • The leaders also discussed Red Sea security and its impact on global prices, as shipping disruptions in the Strait of Bab al-Mandab continue to threaten commercial routes worldwide.
