European leaders convene in Yerevan for dual summits amid US‑Russia tensions
European political leaders gathered in Yerevan, Armenia for two unprecedented summits of the European Political Community, bringing together EU heads, NATO members and guest Canada. France 24 highlighted the focus on defence independence, closer EU‑Canada ties and the looming influence of US President Donald Trump, while its other report linked the meeting to concerns over a US troop drawdown in Germany and fresh Trump tariffs. Al Jazeera framed the gatherings as a pivot away from Russia, with discussions centred on security, trade and the war in Ukraine.
