00:00 Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron. They'll make their way there shortly, visiting the tomb.
00:05 Richard Johnson, just want to ask you about this when we look at these two leaders. It is a
00:15 difficult time for each man because they have low approval ratings and they each see a strong
00:23 presence of the far right in their respective countries. How important is this visit for them?
00:28 I guess they're both in slightly different points in their own political cycles. Macron is not
00:35 facing re-election. Of course, he wants to be able to hand on France to a successor who's
00:40 of like mind and to mitigate against the threat of the far right as Joe Biden.
00:47 Richard, I'm sorry to cut you off again. We're going to listen in
00:50 to the US national anthem playing right now.

02:55 We just heard the US national anthem followed by France's national anthem. Now we're expecting
03:02 perhaps a color guard and a wreath laying. Richard, sorry to cut you off. Earlier,
03:06 you were discussing the pressure each leader is under in their respective countries.
03:11 I think they're under slightly different pressure because Joe Biden, of course,
03:16 is facing re-election this year in a way that Macron doesn't have to worry about anymore.
03:20 Although the nature of the challenges the two men are facing are similar, the personal pressure
03:29 that they'd be facing from it is somewhat different. I think for Biden, this is not just
03:37 about politics for him. This is something that he cares deeply about on a longstanding level.
03:44 He's chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He's someone who's always believed
03:48 in the United States of Maine, strong leadership role in the world. I think while he can find
03:54 leaders who agree with that, even if they don't always see eye to eye, he wants to stiffen those
04:02 connections, those bonds. I think he sees someone in Macron that he can work with, someone who
04:07 basically perceives the challenges of the world in similar ways.
04:12 We're just laying the wreath now at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We're going to
04:16 watch these images and listen in.
