The somewhat unlikely relationship between Trump and Macron

From CNN's Melissa Bell and James Masters


At first glance, the relationship between Trump, a 71-year-old isolationist who enjoys cable news and long days on the golf course, and the 40-year-old Macron, a pro-European integrationist who likes to quote philosophers and extol the virtues of the arts, seems unlikely.
But the two men share a number of similarities.

This is the first state visit of Trump's presidency

From CNN's Michelle Kosinski


French President Emmanuel Macron's trip to the White House is the first state visit of Trump's presidency.
The White House has hosted numerous world leaders in the first year of the Trump administration — but none were official state visits with all the trappings, pomp, circumstance and accompanying glittering state dinner.
Trump is the first president in decades to not host a state visit during his first year in office. The White House has said there's no particular reason for the delay.
