President Donald J.
Trump and First Lady Melania Trump welcome French President
Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Mrs. Brigitte Macron, to
Washington today. The First Couples will visit Mount Vernon
tonight before France’s official State Visit begins tomorrow.
An inside
look at hosting a State Visit
State Dinners
with foreign leaders date back to 1874. When King
David Kalakaua of the Kingdom of Hawaii (later annexed by the
United States) visited Washington that year, there was no guide
for how President Ulysses S. Grant should welcome him. No
matter how the visit went, it would set a precedent.
The result was a
tradition that continues to this day. President Trump
hosts the first official State Visit of his Administration when
President Macron and Mrs. Macron of France come to the White
House. While President Trump has hosted numerous foreign
leaders, tomorrow will mark the first ceremonial State Visit
among them.
State Visits are
intricately planned to show respect for a visiting leader.
The end goal of such events is practical. Just as negotiations
over trade drove King Kalakaua to the White House nearly a
century and a half ago, better trade deals will be a fixture of
the conversations between Presidents Trump and Macron this
week.

Senate
prepares to vote on Mike Pompeo
Mike Pompeo is
the Secretary of State America needs. Last year, the
Senate voted 66-32 to confirm Pompeo as Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency, and the full Senate is expected to approve
his nomination for Secretary of State in the coming weeks. He
has served the CIA with distinction for the past 14 months.
His nomination
is earning widespread support. “Mike Pompeo has the
intelligence, the integrity, and the experience to serve as
America’s secretary of State,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY)
wrote last week. “We would be hard-pressed to find a nominee
with greater experience and expertise,” national security
expert Michael Allen says.
Director
Pompeo’s record speaks for itself. He was a leader
long before he arrived in Washington, patrolling the Iron
Curtain as a U.S. Cavalry officer in West Germany before the
Berlin Wall fell. He has been an entrepreneur, a Congressman,
and first in his class at the U.S. Military Academy at West
Point. He’s ready.
See why
Mike Pompeo is ready to lead and what
others are saying about his nomination.
