Paris.- French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed to his American counterpart, Donald Trump, to hold a G7 summit in Paris next Thursday, to which he could invite Russia, when the fourth anniversary of its war in Ukraine is about to be reached, as well as Ukrainians and Danes, sources from the Élysée Palace confirmed today.
"That private message is totally real," sources close to Macron told EFE, confirming the message that Trump revealed on his social network Truth Social, in which the French president invites the American president to stop in Paris after his attendance at the Davos Forum to address disagreements over Ukraine, Greenland, and Syria.
According to sources, "it shows that the French president defends the same line both in public and in private" and also highlights that France is determined to make its G7 presidency "a useful moment to contribute to dialogue and cooperation."
"In Greenland, respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states is not negotiable and our commitment as NATO allies to security in the Arctic region remains intact," the sources emphasized.
They added that in Syria, France collaborates with the United States "in favor of the unity and territorial integrity" of the country and "respect for the ceasefire", while remaining "faithful" to its allies in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist group.
And they remembered that in Iran, Paris demands that the authorities respect fundamental freedoms and supports those who defend them.
"My friend, we completely agree on the Syria issue. We can do great things in Iran. I don't understand what you're doing in Greenland," Macron wrote in the message to Trump, which the American president revealed on his social network.
Therefore, Macron suggested: "I can organize a G7 meeting in Paris on Thursday afternoon after Davos", where Trump will be starting Wednesday. "Let's have dinner together in Paris on Thursday before you return to the United States," he continued.
"I can invite Ukrainians, Danes, Syrians and Russians on the sidelines of the meeting," added the French president, who signs the message with his first name, Emmanuel.
