“The United States and France – the strongest allies – are there, because our relationship is rooted in centuries,” he said, building a bridge to their common cause in Ukraine.
Mr Macron’s rhetoric was characteristically florid, but it reflected his position as the primus inter pares of Europe’s leaders when it comes to the US.is his second state visit, and the first of Mr Biden’s presidency – even as they have met regularly this year, most recently at the G20 in Bali, Indonesia.Re-elected in April, Mr Macron is focusing on foreign policy during his second term, partly due to the war in Ukraine.
Mr Macron’s energy and charm as well as his detailed understanding of the war’s political and economic implications mean he is ideally placed to cajole EU leaders as they have responded by imposing sanctions, reorganising their energy policy, managing the influx of Ukrainian refugees and channelling arms to Kyiv.
The ceremonies around his state visit – which included a visit to Arlington military cemetery, a private dinner with the Bidens, cannon volleys and a review of the troops, and a state dinner – seemed to confirm his status.
