  • President-elect Donald Trump kicked off his first foreign trip since his reelection with a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at Elysee Palace.

In a recent international trip, former President Donald Trump met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, marking his first significant international engagement since leaving office. The meeting, which took place at the Élysée Palace, was part of Trump's effort to reassert his influence on the global stage amid his ongoing legal battles and the 2024 presidential campaign. During the visit, Trump and Macron discussed various issues, including the war in Ukraine, trade relations, and the broader geopolitical landscape. Trump, who has been vocal about his belief that the world has become "crazy" since he left office, used the occasion to critique current U.S. foreign policy under President Joe Biden. The visit was also seen as an opportunity for Trump to bolster his image as a statesman, especially as he faces multiple legal challenges at home, including investigations related to the January 6 Capitol riot and his handling of classified documents.
