It is a meeting awaited by many members of the executive. Almost a month after the affair of the Australian submarines, bought in the United States when an agreement had been signed with France, Presidents Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron meet in Rome (Italy), a few hours of the start of the G20. “The first stake of this meeting, it will be to show the reconciliation between France and the United States”, explains Guillaume Daret, journalist France Télévisions present in the Italian capital.

This meeting will take place at Villa Bonaparte, which is “the French embassy to the Holy See, here in Rome”, specifies the journalist. It is therefore Emmanuel Macron who receives the American president, an important symbol in politics. “Another important issue for the French president is that he will once again plead with his American counterpart for European defense”, adds Guillaume Daret. An important issue which is linked to the activity of NATO.
