Special envoy Steve Witkoff and diplomat Marco Rubio will meet with European counterparts in Paris to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
David Lammy, the UK Foreign Secretary, will also attend the high-level transatlantic discussions about the conflict.
In recent months, there has not been a rush from the US government to consult its European allies.
Thursday’s meetings are significant, with Witkoff and Rubio meeting French President Emmanuel Macron and his team.
The US secretary of state will hold talks with Lammy and French and German counterparts. European national security adviser will also be involved.
The focus will be on ending the fighting in Ukraine and Witkoff will report on his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.
European diplomats will urge the US to put more pressure on Russia for an unconditional ceasefire.
“We want the US to use a bit more stick,” said one official.
