The president and first lady hosted their first state dinner with France at the start of month. Jill and Joe both hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron for the event, which celebrated the United States’ long allyship with France. In a leadup to the event, Jill spoke about how special the connection between the US and France is. “The design of this dinner was inspired by the shared colors of our flags—red, white, and blue—and our common values: liberty and democracy, equality and fellowship,” she said.
