Amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Europe due to President Trump’s controversial rhetoric and policies, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators is attending the Paris Air Show to reinforce transatlantic ties. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) are leading the delegation, which includes several other Democratic and Republican lawmakers. Their goal is to reassure European allies of Washington’s commitment despite recent strains over tariffs, NATO support, Ukraine aid, and the U.S. stance at the U.N. on Russia. axios.com

The Paris Air Show, a premier global aerospace and defense event, will host representatives from 48 countries, including allies such as Australia, Canada, Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine. Concerns in Europe have escalated with Trump’s reelection and harsh comments about the European Union, heightening fears about economic and defense cooperation. The diplomatic outreach at the trade show serves as a prelude to the upcoming NATO summit in the Netherlands on June 24-25.axios.com
