President Biden visited the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France to honor US soldiers who died in World War 1. This cemetery visit was in contrast to former President Trump, who notably skipped visiting the cemetery during his 2018 trip to France. The former president reportedly called soldiers buried at a cemetery "suckers" and "losers." Although he has denied these allegations, the comments were later corroborated by his then-chief of staff, John Kelly. Biden's references to the importance of transatlantic partnerships, democracy, and helping Ukraine during his France trip contrasted himself with Trump's previous approaches to these issues.
