The warmth between Pres. Biden and French Pres. Emmanuel Macron was on full display on day two of the G-7 summit—with the leaders sitting down for a one-on-one beachside bilateral meeting and Macron agreeing that America is 'definitely' back.
in 2018, Biden solidified the presence of the U.S. in that alliance, saying he supports and feels"very strongly about the cohesion of NATO."
But on Saturday, Macron thanked Biden for an informal meeting the previous day -- which Macron tweeted a video of -- and said that the U.S. and France must cooperate to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.The two discussed the pandemic, donating vaccines the international tax system, climate change, the Sahel, NATO, China and Russia, according to White House readout.
Biden, additionally, had meetings with Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the U.K. and Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia. "We expect this meeting to be candid and straightforward and a solo press conference is the appropriate format to clearly communicate with the free press the topics that were raised in the meeting -- both in terms of areas where we may agree and in areas where we have significant concerns," a White House official said Saturday.
