importance of transatlantic ties. there's been a shift in donald trump's position. we heard it in warsaw last week. the idea that perhaps there was a recommit to the idea of mutual help, the recommit to this as a whole. and the explaining of the fact that donald trump seemed that understand that the transatlantic ties were historical and crucial. essentially, and i paraphrase, he said who knew that france was such an important historical ally? that was essentially his message at the press conference yesterday. i think emmanuel macron was hoping to convince the peterson president of that. -- the american president of that. it seems as the clouds hover in washington, on the international stage. donald trump appears to be shining. i think it's something that no one could have predicted only a few weeks ago. >> interesting dynamic. more than 30 years and many issues separate the two world leaders. getting along quite well. melissa bell live for us in paris. thank you.
