Trump in France for G-7 Summit Where Consensus Is Unlikely

Patsy Widakuswara

   SAINT-JEAN-DE-LUZ, FRANCE - U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in
   Biarritz, France, to attend the Group of 7 summit, a meeting of the
   world's most advanced democracies.

   Immediately after his arrival on Saturday, Trump had lunch with French
   President Emmanuel Macron. The two leaders reiterated their desire to
   work together as they discuss a range of issues including climate
   change, Syria, North Korea, Ukraine and Iran this weekend.

   Macron called Trump his "special guest." Dismissing reports of a rift
   with his host, Trump said that he and Macron "actually have a lot in
   common" and "have been friends a long time."

   "So far, so good," Trump said, "The weather is fantastic. Everybody's
   getting along. I think we will accomplish a lot this weekend."
