US President Donald Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Friday urged a bigger role for the United Nations in battling the global coronavirus pandemic, the White House said.

Trump and Macron spoke by phone and “discussed convening P5 leaders soon to increase UN cooperation on defeating the pandemic and ensuring international peace and security,” the White House press office said.

The P5, or permanent five members of the UN Security Council, are Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.

Both France and the United States are facing severe economic slowdowns due to crippling lockdowns meant to break the pandemic’s growth.

The White House said “President Trump conveyed that the United States stands with the French people and expressed condolences for those who have lost their lives in France.”
