The Western media are surprised to discuss the atmosphere of the negotiations between Biden and Macron. During their public appearances, they often touched each other with their hands, and at some point Biden turned to Macron and said: “Merci, my friend,” writes the Washington Post.
Biden and his wife greeted the French president and his wife with hugs, kisses and big smiles, while Macron, 44, repeatedly laid his hand on the back of the 80-year-old White House owner, writes the Guardian.
The newspaper notes that Macron’s pompous visit serves as a grand apology from the United States for last year’s scandal in connection with Australia’s withdrawal from a deal to buy French submarines in favor of American ones.
The publication describes the entourage of the summit as follows: golden curtains, crystal chandeliers, artificial icicles and fake snow.
