'In my current position, I represent France. But with your best actions you also embody France's values and its history.' French Pres. Macron awarded 'Legion d'Honneur' medals to American World War II veterans in a ceremony at the French Embassy in D.C.
The White House prepared for days for Macron's arrival, setting up a large tent for the festivities on the South Lawn and decorating light poles bordering the White House complex with French flags.
The French president, in making his case against the subsidies, will underscore that it's crucial for “Europe, like the U.S., to come out stronger ... not weaker” as the world emerges from the tumult of the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to a senior French government official who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity to preview private talks.
Macron's visit comes about 14 months after the relationship hit its nadir after the U.S. announced its deal to sell nuclear submarines to Australia.
