PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron will dine with Germany's chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Wednesday evening, the Elysee said.

The palace said the two leaders would meet for a "working dinner" but gave no further detail.

Macron, who on Tuesday met U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, briefed EU leaders on the outcome of the talks earlier on Wednesday.

Merz is expected to attempt to form a coalition with the third-placed Social Democrats after his conservatives won Sunday's parliamentary election.

As chancellor, he would have a key role in shaping the European Union's most populous country and its foreign relations.
