Four years after A President, Europe, and War, Guy Lagache returns with War, Donald Trump, and Us, filmed at the heart of European power alongside President Emmanuel Macron’s diplomatic teams.
In 2025, as the war in Ukraine escalates and Europe faces a historic rupture with Donald Trump’s America, the continent finds itself more isolated and threatened than at any time since World War II.

From Paris to Kyiv, Berlin and London, from Brussels to Washington, the film follows high-stakes meetings and negotiations between European allies struggling to counter Vladimir Putin’s logic of war, while facing a Donald Trump who appears ready to pressure Ukraine — the victim of aggression — to yield to Russian demands.
The film features exceptional interviews with political leaders, European heads of state, French military officials, senior NATO figures and international experts, who recount — often for the first time — the diplomatic standoffs they witnessed or directly took part in.

From the G7 and NATO summits to the Munich Security Conference, the Russia–US summit in Alaska last summer, and the latest controversial US peace plan rejected by Kyiv, Guy Lagache takes us behind the scenes of a new geopolitical era.
