President Biden and President Macron stressed their agreement on world affairs, particularly regarding the war in Ukraine, despite differing views on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Both leaders emphasized the enduring strength of the American-French partnership on climate, economy, security, and cultural ties, while papering over differences on the Middle East.
Macron expressed hope for a $50 billion solidarity fund for Ukraine, indicating common ground with Biden on leveraging frozen Russian assets for a loan.
Although Macron supported an Israeli cease-fire proposal backed by Biden, he urged Israel to step up aid to Palestinians affected by the conflict in Gaza.
