French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris on Saturday (June 8) for a work lunch centred on trade, Ukraine and Gaza, Reuters reports.
Both leaders were accompanied by their wives, Brigitte Macron and Jill Biden, and posed for photographs in the Elysee courtyard.
The two men, fresh from commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day, share a warm relationship despite past tensions over a submarine deal with Australia.
Biden hosted Macron for a state visit at the White House in 2022.
