GERMAN Chancellor Olaf Scholz plans to travel to Paris on Wednesday to meet President Emmanuel Macron two days after the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The French head of state is expected to receive the German chancellor at the Élysée Palace around midday.
In addition to the future positioning of the EU with regard to the United States, the talks are also likely to focus on the war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict.
Scholz is not the only leading German politician travelling to France at the moment.
