The White House said on Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump¹ had accepted French President Emmanuel Macron's invitation to visit France on Bastille Day next month.

 

白宫周三表示，应法国总统马克龙之邀，美国总统特朗普将于下个月参加法国巴士底日。

 

"President Trump looks forward to reaffirming America's strong ties of friendship with France, to celebrating this important day with the French people, and to commemorating² the 100th anniversary of America's entry into World War I," said a statement by the White House.

 

"The two leaders will further build on the strong counter-terrorism cooperation and economic partnership³ between the two countries, and they will discuss many other issues of mutual⁴ concern," the statement added.

 

The French invitation came amid public disagreement between Macron and Trump on Trump's decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement signed by 196 parties in Paris.

 

Shortly after Trump announced his decision early this month to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, Macron hit back in a televised speech with a call to "make our planet great again," a direct jab at Trump's campaign slogan to "make America great again."
