French President Emmanuel Macron is convening European leaders for an emergency summit in Paris on Monday, according to Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

"I'm very glad that President Macron has called our leaders to Paris," Sikorski said, adding that he expects the European leaders to discuss "in a very serious fashion" the challenges posed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

"President Trump has a method of operating which the Russians call razvedka boyem —reconnaissance through battle: You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position. ... And we need to respond," the Polish minister said.

The meeting will take place on Monday, according to two EU officials.

It was not immediately clear whether the meeting would involve all EU leaders, or only a smaller group of countries, and if other European leaders like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer would also be invited.

A French spokesperson was not immediately able to comment. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, who was on the panel with Sikorski in Munich, didn’t confirm or deny the emergency summit.

Sikorski said later that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will travel on Monday at Macron's invitation to the meeting. "We need to show our strength and unity," Sikorski said in a post on social media.

But Greeks are Turks. Why would they hate themselves?

Seems like a European requisite tbh.

True, but that'd also infer that if Germany leaves, that'd make France the sole major authority within the EU and able to accomplish that. The AFD, whilst unlikely to achieve a majority this upcoming election, want to leave the EU. If that were to pass - either this decade due to some coalition peer pressured referendum or the next - then that leaves France with no competition. Macron might be cynically looking at the Germans and deduced they're not fated to stay, or presumes they'd be too weak-willed to kowtow if they do seeing as the French will gladly protest and riot over every little thing yet the Germans appear a lot more passive in comparison. It's all autistic theory crafting but I think Macron has the sort of ego where he envisions himself as being the leader of all of Europe in more than name.

Trouble is with Germany gone it would be up to France to pay off everyone else to keep them all onboard with this whole "United Europe" project, and LOL at the chances of that happening as opposed to them trying to suck those nations dry.

@Justa Grata Honoria, I must again concede to you. I do hope that Vance's speech was a "get your shit together" moment and not a "we're ditching you retards" moment because it would be a shame to lose our relationship with Europe because its leaders are a bunch of arrogant, room-temperature-IQ communists. That said, I'm facepalming IRL at how retarded European leaders are behaving. My further hope is that these morons get thrown out in their next elections. Thanks to @Buttigieg2020 for posting the information about their crumbling approval rates.

It was hope for the former and a threat of the latter because we cannot keep carrying these complete fucking losers. While it is true that the eurocrats are getting increasingly unpopular, it's also true that their reaction to that is to just annul the election and/or ban the opposition, so their unpopularity doesn't actually influence outcomes.

Shockingly, Donald Trump of all people is not particularly sympathetic to lawfare.

It's amazing how completely oblivious burgers are to global politics.
