President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to the United States (US) was aimed at reaffirming their economic, defence, and political partnership. The visit came against the backdrop of a difficult time for the transatlantic partners with tension ranging from increasing economic vulnerabilities, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and soaring energy prices. While the visit was low on deliverables, it allowed both leaders an opportunity to discuss a range of issues on which either they have convergences such as bilateral relations; have different outlooks such as the Inflation Reduction Act, or have converging interests but a different approach like the Ukraine crisis.
