and france was the traditional enemy of britain. and there was also a very strong anti-catholic element. and so for each of your periods, i'd like you to talk a little bit about attitudes toward france, or the french that americans encountered. suspicion hostilities or opening, welcome with open arms. and how you think it changed american attitudes toward france? >> should we do it chronologically? you make all the points that i found that the sentiment against the french, which was in part because they had been the enemy during the -- what we call the french and indian wars, it was called the seven years' war, was only a decade old. the memories were very strong. and the religion and all the other aspects meant that when the first french troops and volunteers were coming, they were not well regarded. nathaniel greene actually said these are so many spies in our camp. that's how he referred to them. but when the first battles, especially and i point this out at brandywine, erupted, things changed. the congress, washington, the other

he said i'm not going to france because france is no longer france. if you look at what's happening in france it's no longer france. friends of mine that used to love to go to paris, they say we're not going to paris anymore. it's no longer paris. i have a friend. he is a very, very substantial guy. he loves the city of lights. he loves paris. haven't seen him in a while. i said, jim, let me ask you a question. how is paris doing? paris? i don't go there anymore. pair sis no longer paris. >> notably, the associated press reporting on that friend jim, asking the white house for a comment, whether that friend, jim, would be joining him on this trip. the white house didn't respond to the ap's request for comment. how do you view this visit? >> well, i think it's a visit that both leaders will benefit from. you've got president macron, the new wonder boy of international politics. he wants to be the main point of contact for president trump in europe. he knows that france has kind of lagged, number three in relations with the u.s., with britain, with germ

the streets in france... the irony for britain leaving now is that at the time of this ridiculous campaign for brexit began, they said that europe is falling apart, all europe is not the future, france is dilapidated. now suddenly we see a vision where for one thing the european union is growing faster than we are, we are at the back of the line for g7 growth. but france and germany look very united, very strong. europe seems to have new strength and energy and enthusiasm, and we have been left behind. we are the ones who are going to feel like the outsiders, unimportant. we will be the flyover zone for anybody else. nobody will come and talk to us, they will be going to germany and paris. i think what eunice says about the streets, it seems far away, but it is so important, and it is what links two people who are so unalike, which is emmanuel macron and donald trump. they were both elected by amazing disaffection and anger at the grassroots level. if they don't succeed, where is that anger going to go? this

city a gift from the people of france. i have been the curator here at the national world war i museum and memorial since 1990, and in that time i have developed an incredible passion for learning about the war, and especially about the people who were in the war itself because none of them are left to tell us their stories anymore. we have to present to the public through the objects that they left what their lives were like, how they were affected by the world war, and what were the things that they would like to have had remembered about them. so to me that's really the most important part of my job, because it was the humanity that was important to our story here. the other thing about the story here of the museum that i've always been very proud of is that war is not glorified here. on the contrary, it is shown as one of the most horrible undertakings that people can do to each other. so for me being here at the time that i've been the curator here is to learn about the people, learn how they suffered and how they exc

that is france's calling and vocation. france is not a country that reforms itself. i'm sorry to say this, mr. prime minister, i'm going to announce today in front of the congress that you can't reform france. france is a country that resists as long as possible to all attempts to reform. it is a country when you don't explain to the french, if you don't respect them or you don't talk to their intelligence, they resist. in the face of the big challenges, they rise, the country has always been able to find the resources that has enabled it to become what it is. your challenge today, you will be spending nights and days, will be spending days and nights on the subject, the issues that are the daily concerns of our citizens. every time the horizon and the cost that we haven't had will inspire us to restore the position of french intelligence means understanding that the french people are intelligent enough, smart enough to act alone. we mustn't have excessive public intervention. we of course must protect the most vulnerable notably through the labor code. of course we

what will france do? how will france cooperate with all of these areas with china, and what do you think personally of mr. xi jinping? how do you want to continue to work with china, and what do you personally think of mr. xi jinping? thank you very much. president trump: he is a friend of mine. i have great respect for him. we have gotten to know each other very well. a great leader. he is a very talented man. i think he is a very good man. he loves china, i can tell you. he wants to do what is right for china. we have asked him for some assistance with respect to north korea. probably he could do a little bit more, but we will find out. we are working on some trade deals. he has been very nice. he has let beef go back in, certain credit card financing and other various things go back

troops entering france for world war i. it's why you're seeing a lot of sort of military pomp and circumstance happening today and then tomorrow during that parade as well. but this relationship i do think as we watch these leaders walk together here, is certainly one to watch, particularly given what president trump has said in the past about france. remember on the campaign, he called it a disaster. when he pulled out of the paris climate agreement, he said he was elected to represent the people of pittsburgh, not paris. i'll tell you, president macron had words just as sharp for president trump. remember after that, macron said, hey, lease make the planet great again, a little bit of a jab at maga, at the make america great again slogan that president trump has owned. i think this will be an interesting day. we'll wait to see what develops out of this meeting. we think a precedent holds we'll get a readout of what they discussed, any sort of policy issue moving forward or coming out of this regarding partnership when it

france had helped america in our revolution. and these men want to help france. it wasn't just the military help that the americans brought. this part of france was devastated in the fighting in time villages were razed. and it was an american relief efforts privately funded that helped to rebuild. as we can see in some remarkable and recently rediscovered footage showing fix very road. this is the village of tony la filled in nineteen seventeen by someone working for the american committee for that devastated regions. a we see star who've come into an area recently taken back from the germans to assess needs and distribute help. the committee made up of well to do american ladies was based at the chateau of playroom called now a museu. that the head was there redoubtable and more good. they were prototypes of the molten aid worker. from the beginning of a fed these american committee. and morgan asked for movies to. make it to the american public is aware of the state of devastation and to find ways monday for the organization as she settled here in the in the h

we are starting out here in france where the president has moved to nationalize france's biggest shipyard in the west of the country. >> that story is on the front page in several newspapers. thatewspaper reminds us this is temporary and comes after a long standoff between the french government and italy's state own company. under a previous agreement the company was to take 65% and france had a former korean owner of the shipyard but soon after taking office emmanuel macron changed his mind and threatened to nationalize the company unless italians agreed to a 50-50 ownership split. >> how will the press react? >> reactions in the french press are mixed. some hold it as a bold move that makes sense politically and economically. argue the temporary nationalization which is expected to cost 80 million euros will help her checked jobs -- will help protect jobs and strengthen the country. some others disagree and say that this says a -- this sends a bad idea to the business community. that nationalization could do more harm than good and could undermine european cooperation at a time when fra

there's a great line, france isn't france anymore. he describes a sort of dystopia in paris where sharia law has run amok and there are portions of paris you can't go into because they're too dangerous and it's sharia, martial law. he seems to detest modern france but the feeling is quite mutual. the recent pew global attitudes poll show trump has a 14% approval rating in france. so some of those le pen voters do like him, but overall, the french people don't. and macron in many ways has styled himself as a kind of anti-trump. he defeated marine le pen who was sort of in the vanguard of this populist movement in europe echoing a lot of the trump impulses which has not fared so well since trump's election. and macron has been a strong champion of things like internationalism, the nato alliance and, of course, the paris climate accords. he's going to be convening a meeting in paris on the anniversary of those accords which trump has withdrawn from and has made the u.s. a global holdout on. i think they'll be friendly as they stand next

believe it or not, they're very excited about this in france. they're yeerning for their own democracy. there's a man by the name of renee. he's fascinated with american politics. writing books on american history and he is a leader of this movement. he hosts a dinner during the summer of 165 and proposes an idea. let's give the people of the united states a gift from us, the people of france, to commemorate our friendship, to commemorate their democracy. luckily for them, there's a young sculpturer at this event and he's well-known in france for building large monuments, but he is a dreamer. he wants to do something really, really big. something to be remembered for. he had been to egypt, seen the pyramids. done research on one of the seven wonders of the world, he was hired to construct a similar project at the mouth of the suez canal. never came to fruition, but he had the idea of a woman holding a torch representing enlightment for the entire world. he's able to make his first visit to the united states in the 1870s. he enters the mouth of t
