Trump Meets With French President Macron; Federal Unions Challenge Email Asking for List of Accomplishments

President Donald Trump welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron to the White House for talks on Monday amid uncertainty about the future of transatlantic relations.

A group of federal unions are challenging an email asking government employees about their accomplishments. This is believed to be the first court case to address the email, which the office of personnel management sent at the weekend. In the email, federal employees were told to list five accomplishments they had last week by midnight on Monday. On social media, Elon Musk, leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, wrote that an employee’s not responding to the email would be taken as a resignation.

Western leaders attended events in Ukraine on Monday to mark the third anniversary of the start of the Russia–Ukraine war.
