A meeting of temperaments and Gucci loafers – how Sunak and Macron bridged the Channel ✒️ annemcelvoy via ipaperviews
Allowing an exceptional deal with Britain looks unlikely. More probable is the “Plan B” of Britain paying for more security on the beaches at Calais, in return for increasing vigilance on the French side. No breakthrough will happen this week but it will at least ease domestic and logistical pressures for both leaders.
The two leaders meet at a time when fissures are becoming apparent in the Western alliance on Ukraine, between countries who do not wantuntil there is a clear military victory on hand for Kyiv’s forces, and those, including many in the US Pentagon, who believe that there will the need to be some forfeit of territory, most likely in Crimea to end hostilities.
This is too far-reaching to be determined in one bi-lateral, but the core message will be that even when Paris and London disagree, they are back in business as a functioning partnership.was really that it united two figures of very different dispositions after an era of bickering when more important causes needed attention. Practical results may be rather slower to emerge from this embrace than that famous joint walk into the dusk.
