Five weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency, Germany and France are sending senior diplomats to Washington to seek more clarity on the U.S. administration’s foreign policy.
The joint German-French delegation will be led by the political directors of both foreign ministries, who will hold two days of talks starting March 1, according to two people familiar with the planning. Plans include a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, one of the people said. Both officials asked not to be identified because the talks haven’t been announced.
