Before their Saturday meeting, the clarity came from the administration of the US that it would take part in Macron's proposal to send military trainers to Ukraine. He spoke to leaders at NATO about it, and its supporters, with the final plan expected to be reached in a matter of a few days.
No US personnel will enter the conflict area, was yet a reminder of the President, while the White House confirmed that its position had not changed.

In a joint statement, Biden and Macron reminded their historical relationship and recognized their commitment to a single, free, peaceful Europe. Macron expressed the belief that agreement would be reached regarding the possibility of directing interest from accounts with frozen Russian assets to help Kyiv, with his and other expectations, personally and on the part of the US.
Disapproving the cost of unacceptable human losses after nine months of conflict, Macron noted the importance of Israel opening all border crossings for humanitarian assistance.

Drawing attention to his people's and country's mutual assurance in their histories that both states have defended each other's freedom, Biden and Macron saw light together in facing current challenges with optimism.
