WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is expected to invite French President Emmanuel Macron to the U.S. on the first state visit of the Trump administration.
That’s according to a senior U.S. official who was not authorized to discuss the visit before it was announced and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Trump is the first U.S. president in decades to close his first year without welcoming a counterpart on a state visit.
The designation means Macron will be welcomed to the White House with a South Lawn arrival ceremony followed by talks with Trump. He’ll also be the honored guest at a glitzy state dinner.
Trump was Macron’s special guest at a Bastille Day celebration last year that coincided with the 100th anniversary of the U.S. entry into World War I.
What not Vlad?
And interesting the Donald is even avoiding Fox these days
Macron should decline at the last minute, saying he has to wash his cat, or change the furnace filter at home…
My hope is that Macron will break Donnie’s stubby little hand this time. That’d put a crimp in his “signing” photo-ops.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yNwFm9q_e0tRump is laboring under the illusion or delusion that Macron likes him for some dumb reason.
Be really funny if Macron tweeted that he will not accept the offer.
I can’t be seen hanging around with your’e type by all the other world leaders. I have a country to take care of and don’t want to tarnish my reputation.
