There. well have a joint press conference, joint press conference, i should say, really three times to deliver messages here. how did days like this evolve? >> lots of planning and preparation, staffs from both principles will be giving them the talking points of the speeches, theyll be preparing them for the questions there theyre going to get at the press conference. you can rest assured that on the american side president trumps team will be getting him ready for questions about the iran deal...

Need to talk about. all this is great pomp and circumstance and certainly befitting president macron and the relationship that he has with president trump. but really what gets down to it, the sticking points, the iran deal, syria and where that goes and of course trade. president macron and angela merkel will likely try to push the president very hard to grant exemptions to that steel tariff he announced back in march because theyll retaliate. the eu is going to retaliate against the united sta...

This is unusual and this is pointed. you can read it certainly as a midterm election message, but its also a sign of the frustration that president trump feels after 15 months of negotiating, trying to negotiate with congressional democrats but also playing them off him. this is a two-way street and as amber pointed out, president trump is made these fants to democrats and pulled back. members of the other party are invite today state dinners to events where the country is being represented, whe...

Policy belief and that is to get out of multi-lateral deals not get back in to them which is why macron is trying to convince the president here today to do. you only need to look at senate democrats, macron might want to talk to them when hes on capitol hill later this week to get a sense of how tough it is to negotiate with this president. he might seem open when hes talking to you as senate democrats said he was on immigration and we got to watch him, you know, bringing up ideas on gun contro...

You can see president trump there along with the first lady melania trump who has been central in orchestrating this state visit. she set up the dinner were told with no outside help, just the east room staff, the east wing of the white house helping her set up the dinner tonight. she is there beside her husband to greet the french leader and his wife, who will be arriving momentarily as we await their arrival, on the issue of president trump listening, he does seem to hear people often agreeing...

>> very interesting speech by president macron. both speeches all said the right things about the relationship and the history but then he dove into some policy. he talked about the importance of protecting the oceans and bio diversity and he did mention climate change. he linked the threats of iran and north korea together, which was sort of, i thought a very subtle way of talking about the importance of preserving the iran deal as president trump begins to start negotiations with north korea a...

Try to convince trump to get back into some of these global deals. and he hit on some of the, you know, couple of the major, major differences between him and the trump administration. everything from climate change, as you mentioned. nationalism, which is -- pretty clear thats how macron would describe some aspects of the trump administration. and free and fair trade. i mean, macron really touched on the major, major differences here and made clear he thinks he needs to get the trump administra...

States key items, like yellow rice from the carolinas and so on and so forth. the white house is really trying to put their best foot forward here. thats what these state dinners are all about. its also about the friendship between the macrons and the trumps. now president trump last night had dinner with him at mt. vernon just outside of washington, d.c. and our sources tell us that at that dinner, there was some discussion about the serious issues like syria and other things but there was also...

The real outlier here is iran and whether iran comply with these side agreements that are being negotiated between europe and the united states. irans the key player here and they are likely not going to want to be -- to strengthen the deal any more than it already is. we could not -- and john kerry said this many times at the state department, there is no way if we had included missiles, ballistic missiles in the iran deal, that iran would have accepted it. theres just no way they would have do...
