President
Macron comes to Washington
It was a
ceremony befitting America’s oldest ally. President
Trump and the First Lady welcomed the French delegation
yesterday with all the decorum of an official state visit,
including a 21-gun salute, military inspection, and hundreds of
guests waving French and American flags across the White House
South Lawn.
“In America, I
saw more than America,” French President Macron
quoted from Alexis de Tocqueville, adding that the two
countries share ideals of freedom and peace. “It is together
that the United States and France will defeat terrorism. . . .
It is together that we will counter the proliferation of arms
of mass destruction, be it in North Korea or in Iran.”
In many ways,
the alliance is stronger than ever. France is
America’s third-largest European trading partner, to the tune
of $1 billion in business transactions each day.
President Trump has worked closely with France to combat terror
around the world and, most recently, confront Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad’s heinous chemical weapons attack against his
people.
President Trump
called it a friendship “forged in revolution”—and
one that changed the course of history. “Our two great
republics are linked together by the timeless bonds of history,
culture, and destiny.”

Trump’s full speech welcoming the French delegation.
A call 220
million miles away
“ISS, this is
headquarters. How do you hear us?” The video call to
the International Space Station came moments after Vice
President Pence swore in Jim Bridenstine to be the next
Administrator of NASA. “Mr. Vice President, Mr. Bridenstine,
welcome onboard the International Space Station,” the crew
replied.
“A year ago,
President Trump relaunched the National Space Council,”
the Vice President said. “The President has signed his first
space policy directive that we’re going to renew America’s
commitment to human space exploration, starting with the moon
on to Mars.” He added that President Trump wants to make
NASA’s extraordinary work for the past six decades “just a
preamble” to renewed American leadership in space.
