President Joe Biden is set to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron to the White House for a visit that will conclude with the first state dinner of the Biden administration. Macron isn't hiding his displeasure with aspects of Biden's climate law.

“The choices that have been made ... are choices that will fragment the West,” Macron said at the French embassy. He added that the legislation “creates such differences between the United States of America and Europe that all those who work in many companies , they will just think, ‘We don’t make investments any more on the other side of the Atlantic.’”

Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck reiterated Wednesday that he believes parts of the law aren’t compatible with the WTO.“I believe that this view is largely shared by those countries that are committed to a multilateral trading order,” he told reporters in Berlin. “The Americans know that we see it that way and the European Commission will have told them this too.”

Biden administration officials have countered that the legislation goes a long way in helping the U.S. to meet global goals to curb climate change. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday made the case that the legislation will also provide new opportunities for French companies and others in Europe.

“The issue of China will be very high on the agenda for the next couple of days,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday.

am surprised that the French president is in the United States. I was in France recently. There are strong anti-American sentiments. A hypocritical president

Could have ended with just the state dinner part. There are prolly 10 different things they disagree on. Why not just focus on one good thing?

Macron is Putin's cock holster. Biden is his fluffer.

Will mom be here?
