Europe's security is threatened by Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine and the future support of the USA is uncertain. Germany, Poland and France want to promote European sovereignty. What lies behind the meeting of the so-called Weimar Triangle.

This summit in Berlin on Friday was not planned. The spontaneous meeting of the "Weimar Triangle" with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was convened by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. He has just visited US President Joe Biden in Washington - and has urgent information to share with Germany and France.
