Foreign ministers from Poland, Germany, France, and Italy have gathered in Warsaw to discuss intensifying Europe’s military support for Ukraine and redefining future ties with the United States under Donald Trump’s presidency.

Trump anticipates Europe to bolster its defense efforts amidst Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, a stance echoed in the discussions.
