Berlin, Nov 6, (dpa/GNA) – German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, and French President Emmanuel Macron, held a telephone conference on Wednesday morning in view of Donald Trump’s likely impending victory in the US presidential election.
A German government spokesman said the two European leaders had agreed to coordinate closely with each other. No further details of the conversation were initially disclosed.
“We will work in this new context for a more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe. In cooperation with the US and defending our interests and values,” Macron wrote on X after the conversation.
The conservative broadcaster Fox News, had already declared Republican candidate Trump the overall winner against Democrat Kamala Harris, but other media networks and US news agency AP have not done so.
Trump declared himself the winner in a speech in Florida.
