French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited Moldova last week to celebrate that nation’s independence day, in the face of Russian meddling. Two of those nations are also part of another European political triumvirate that is reemerging as the leading group of powers in the region. In recent months, there has been a growing warmth in relations between Merz, Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This was displayed most recently during the summit on Ukraine with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Aug. 19.
