Europe to join Abu Dhabi Ukraine talks as Trump signals border changes

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot told RTL on Sunday, 8 November, that French negotiators will take part, but he could not yet say who. He said Europeans had told the US mediators that no discussion of the continent's future can bypass them, and that he does not know the details of Trump's promised "very big" deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said progress had been made on a post-war security architecture, but nothing is finalized. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to represent the US, and Kushner wrote on X that Washington would coordinate closely with Europeans on the sidelines.
