Vice President Kamala Harris, the highest-ranking American to visit France since Trump left office, is trying to make the case the United States is a team player
French President Emmanuel Macron welcomes Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday to the Elysee Palace in Paris.
On Wednesday evening, she met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace for nearly two hours. Both leaders told reporters that they agreed it was “the beginning of a new era” that required working together. Nicholas Dungan, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank who focuses on France, said Europeans are eager to have America back.Dungan said Europeans’ concerns about U.S. leadership extend more deeply than how Trump handled foreign policy. European allies believe Trump was probably just a brash iteration of longer-term changes in American attitudes about engaging in the world.
Macron, for example, has raised implicit doubts about America’s role in world affairs. He has argued that Europe should build its own defenses, so that it is not as dependent on American protection.An administration official who briefed reporters on Harris’ trip said there was a “common thread” to her meetings here, “exercising American leadership on consequential global challenges and issues.”
Thomas Wright, director of the Center for the United States and Europe at the Brooking Institution think tank, said allies appear eager to engage in such meetings with top U.S. officials because they know what to expect — a return to normalcy in international relations after four years of enduring Trump’s “America First” policies.
