The shock of Munich and the announcements made by the US administration over the last few days are still having an impact. Initially, the crisis meeting was supposed to take place on Sunday, but now Emmanuel Macron has invited people to Paris this afternoon after hectic consultations. The French President is bringing together the most important European states to discuss Europe’s security and the situation in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told Radio France Inter.
