US: Harris visits Paris amid healing US-France rift

WASHINGTON, 09 November 2021, (TON): Vice President Harris is headed to Paris for a five-day trip that will include a meeting with French President Macron, underscoring a broader White House effort to prove the U.S. commitment to France after a high-profile spat back in September.

In meeting with Macron in France, Harris will become the third high-level Biden administration official to meet with the French president since the US announced with the UK and Australia a pact on Asia Pacific security that robbed France of a lucrative defense contract.

The visit, Harris’s third overseas trip as vice president, will also afford her the opportunity to polish her foreign policy chops. Harris will attend the Paris Peace Forum and participate in an international conference on Libya, where she’s expected to encounter some two-dozen other world leaders.
