Major Rift ROCKS European Team As Meloni Clashes With Macron Minutes Before Trump-Zelensky Summit

A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic. “How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked. The confrontation came just before Meloni, Macron, and other leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment. Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III. #Italy #UkraineWar #Meloni #Macron #Zelensky #Trump #Putin #NATO #Europe #Washington #Troops #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #Russia #WhiteHouse #WW3 #GlobalCrisis #PeaceTalks #UkraineConflict #Defense Also Read Gazan Woman Dies in Italy Following Medical Evacuation Amid Severe Health Issues :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/gazan-woman-dies-in-italy-after-evacuation-011-7832007.html?ref=DMDesc Trump and Putin Meet in Alaska for Crucial Summit on Ukraine War and US-Russia Relations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-putin-summit-alaska-ukraine-war-011-7831333.html?ref=DMDesc Vatican and Italy Finalise Solar Farm Deal to Achieve Carbon-Neutral Status :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/vatican-solar-farm-deal-carbon-neutral-state-011-7817471.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~

Putin’s Another Attempt To Derail U.S Ukraine Meet As Russia Launches Powerful Strikes in DPR Region

Russia has launched powerful airstrikes across eastern Ukraine just minutes before President Volodymyr Zelensky’s high-stakes White House meeting with Donald Trump. Moscow’s Aerospace Forces struck temporary deployment zones of Ukrainian brigades near Mirnograd and Ivanpolye, using FAB-3000 and FAB-500 aerial bombs fitted with gliding and correction modules.

Trump-Zelensky SHOWDOWN Will Lead To Full-Scale EU-U.S War? Ukraine On Edge As Putin Derail Talks

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order? #Trump #Zelensky #Putin #WhiteHouseShowdown #USEUClash #UkraineWar #AlaskaSummit #Crimea #Donbas #NATO #Macron #MerkelSuccessor #KeirStarmer #GiorgiaMeloni #VonDerLeyen #MarkRutte #AlexanderStubb #UkraineResistance #AmericaFirst #GlobalCrisis ~HT.178~ED.194~GR.124~
