US President Joe Biden is visiting France to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, emphasizing US support for European security amidst ongoing conflicts and political challenges, Associated Press reports.
Biden’s visit includes a state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron and discussions on strengthening the US-France alliance, trade, and security. He also aims to address the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, advocating for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict while maintaining support for Israel. He will also meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss continued support for Ukraine.
Biden’s visit to France and the subsequent trip to Italy for the G7 summit highlight his administration’s focus on maintaining strong international alliances and addressing global security challenges. However, it is shadowed by Trump’s potential return and European concerns about US reliability.
