Marking WWI's End, Europe Ponders the Next One
President Trump will mark Sunday’s 100th anniversary of the end of World War I in France, on the Belleau Wood battlefield. But the allies who fought in that war, particularly France and the U.S., no longer see eye to eye. French President Emmanuel Macron advocated this week for a “true European army” to protect against “China, Russia and even the United States.” Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin will also attend the commemoration, as well as Macron’s peace forum on preventing future wars through global cooperation — which Trump plans to skip.
