United States President Joe Biden is traveling to Rome, Italy, on the sidelines of the G20 and before COP26. The American leader was received by Pope Francis this Friday, October 29. He then has an appointment with Emmanuel Macron. In Rome, the journalist Guillaume Daret takes stock of the challenges of this meeting.
A few weeks after the submarine affair, US President Joe Biden and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron meet in Rome, Italy. This meeting between the two leaders must seal the reconciliation between the two countries. “This meeting will take place at the Villa Bonaparte, which is the French embassy in Rome, says journalist Guillaume Daret live from the Italian capital. It is an important meeting because it is the very first between the two heads of state since the submarine crisis. ”
“The objective will be to display signs of reconciliation and of renewed confidence between France and the United States”, continues the journalist from France Télévisions. “Another important point, Emmanuel Macron wants to plead again for a European defense. He wants to prove to Joe Biden that it is not incompatible with NATO and on the contrary, that it can allow a distribution of roles at the global level”, concludes Guillaume Daret.
