Emmanuel Macron is on all fronts! This Tuesday, November 29, 2022, the President of the Republic and his wife Brigitte Macron will make their second state visit to the United States. The couple should also make a stopover in Washington. The opportunity for Emmanuel Macron to discuss with Joe Biden on thorny subjects. In particular, ecology, the war in Ukraine, but also the international economy to name a few.
“By receiving Emmanuel Macron, Joe Biden wants to highlight the special relationship with France, the oldest ally of the United States, and their absolute unity in support of Ukraine against Moscow. The fight against climate change is also seen as critical by the Biden administration,” analyzed Johanna Maska, the former press officer of the Obama administration’s “advance team” for 20 minutes. “But there is a debate in the United States about the role of governments, with Americans remaining mainly concerned about the price of energy. This visit comes just after the G20 and NATO summits this summer. Reaffirming that the purpose of these alliances is to secure peace and prosperity for future generations is more important than ever.”.
The insecure Blair House?
At the end of the week, the tenant of the Élysée and his wife should stay at the Blair House. As a reminder, this pretty residence which is located not far from the White House was the target of an assassination attempt in 1950 as specified CNews. The events took place on 1er november. At the time, two Puerto Rican separatists named Griselio Torresola and Oscar Collazos entered the building quietly and armed. The duo are determined to kill Harry. S Truman – the 33ᵉ American president.
That day, the politician who disappeared in 1972 escaped the worst… But barely. However, one of the two assailants and a policeman will not have the same luck as him. In the early 2000s, a completely different affair in these places had the merit of disconcerting public opinion. Indeed, an individual manages to deceive the security service and returns one of the rooms of Blair House. Only problem, the Indian Prime Minister was staying there. Fortunately, the main interested party was not present! Countless anecdotes that risk giving cold sweats to Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron.
