French President Emmanuel Macron has outlined plans for a big increase in defence spending, warning Europe's liberty is facing a "greater threat" than at any time since the end of World War Two. In a speech to the armed forces in Paris, he said "we are living in a pivotal moment" due to complex geopolitics.

In a statement, NATO said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will be in Washington on Monday and Tuesday and meet with President Trump and key administration officials.
