This is the very first meeting between Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron since the diplomatic crisis around the Australian submarine contract. On the sidelines of the G20, every word and every gesture were important this Friday, October 29 between the two American and French presidents.
The meeting between Emmanuel Macron and Joe Biden had been expected for weeks. It took place this Friday, October 29 at Villa Bonaparte, the French Embassy in Rome, Italy. The two heads of state met for the first time since the Australian submarine crisis. The American president made a mea culpa. “What we did was awkward, was not done in a graceful way […] but let’s be clear, France is a very valuable partner “said Joe Biden.
And as a gesture of reconciliation, the American head of state shook hands with his French counterpart several times. Emmanuel Macron also wants to turn the page. “We have initiated joint work and a political response and strengthened coordination between the United States and France, and for me, it is the future that we must look to”, he announced. The two partners will continue to work hand in hand.
