French President Emmanuel Macron has arrived at the White House for talks with US President Donald Trump expected to cover the prospects for ending the Ukraine war amid stark differences on how to proceed.
Mr Macron became the first European leader to visit Mr Trump since his return to the White House a month ago.
The two leaders are to participate in a G7 call, hold bilateral talks and then preside over a joint press conference scheduled for 2pm EST (7pm Irish time).
Mr Macron waved before entering a door leading to the Oval Office to join the call with the Group of Seven, which also includes Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom.
