[Independence Day] Wasn't president Whitmore in any contact with leaders from other countries when the space ships were approaching Earth?

This was happening all over the world, I'd think that the leaders all over the world would be trying to figure out what to do when these things were coming.

The president was notified ~20 minutes before the ships entered the atmosphere. It's unlikely there was time to set up a global plan of action. Then there was less than 24 hours before cities started getting destroyed. Prior to the initial strike there was no clear evidence of hostilities, so there was likely no international plan beyond wait-and-see and once the destruction started it was too late.
