The French president also "underlined the importance of Europe's role and told Trump that he is ready to continue this conversation and work together" on everyday issues, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, after the Republican's inauguration.

Macron was among the first in the European Union to congratulate Trump on winning the US presidential election on 5 November.
