US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss the response to Russia’s war with Ukraine.
Macron is briefing Blinken on his most recent round of conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is pressing ahead with the Ukraine invasion despite global condemnation and severe sanctions being imposed on his country.
The two men are also to discuss the Iran nuclear talks in Vienna, which are nearing an end with conflicting signals about whether the 2015 deal limiting Iran’s atomic program can be salvaged.
Blinken arrived in Paris for a two-hour stop from a tour of the Baltic states, Moldova, and Poland where he heard firsthand dire concerns about Russia’s actions from leaders.
