WASHINGTON D.C. (Reuters) — United States President Donald Trump headed to Paris on Wednesday (July 12) to meet French President Emmanuel Macron.
The two leaders will seek to work together on Syria and countering terrorism while avoiding the thorny issues that have divided them.
Trump and Macron — both political newcomers who scored upset victories in their presidential elections — have taken very different positions in areas such as climate change and trade.
Macron invited Trump to France to celebrate July 14 Bastille Day festivities and to commemorate the 100 years since US troops got involved in World War One.
