President Emmanuel Macron arrived in the UK today for a state visit aimed at reinforcing Franco‑British cooperation on crucial global issues such as climate change, defense and artificial intelligence.

Macron highlighted the importance of trilateral EU‑UK‑France coordination in areas like nuclear energy and joint defense initiatives, calling it “significant for all of Europe.” He also addressed tensions in EU‑US trade relations over recent U.S. tariff threats. These topics formed part of a broader dialogue aimed at calming economic uncertainties.
