across the river where macron will show donald trump the tomb of napoleon and the man who led the allied troops on the western front in world war i. the point of this visit, i think, is really beyond seeking to make progress on specific issues to remind the american president of the profound ties that exist between france and the rest of europe and the united states, military ties, moral ties, ties that bind them around common values. i think reminding donald trump of that with these extraordimilitary displays is a good extraordinary military displays is a good way to do that. the two will dine with their wives tonight at the eiffel tower. ahead, of course, of events on friday when donald trump will join emmanuel macron here to watch the 1 fourth of july military parade the 14thof july military parade. and president trump at 14% according to a research study.
71-year-old president trump? macron s a pragmatic, so here you see him flexing that pragmatic muscle and meeting with who he has to meet. an effort to get on to the world stage for him. this is, you know, a little bit of what we often see from our own leaders. when they reach out to other leaders who might not be on the same page and try to find agreement. it will be awkward for sure. there are fundamental differences between what they stand for. absolutely. one thing i think is interesting is that in normal political times, which we are not in, this would be a reset from the domestic conversation. but the president is going to a place where this president of of france has complained about russian bots and fake news intervening in elections there, as well. one wonders how much of the russia discussion they ll have. this is not an example of an overseas trip that changes the conversation.
excuse for losing an election they should have won because it s almost impossible for a republican to win the electoral college. the washington post says this logic is upside down and backwards. what do you make of the president s position? look, this is just not true. meaning the russians have many reasons to be concerned about hitl hillary clinton who is hawkish in positions toward russia. there were a lot of tensions with the obama administration, that s where the sanctions were. they were clamping down on russia as the term came to an end. this wasn t a hoax. this is not coming from partisan leaders, not just coming from the media. it s coming from intelligence officials. he doesn t help his case when he says that. i think what people are waiting to hear is to say the intervention was not something that we can tolerate. nor will we tolerate it again. why has he not said that he feels defensive. he hears this as being an attack on his the legitimacy of his presidency. i
relationship between the leaders? reporter: for the time being, it s been testy, frankly. every time they ve come up against each other, emmanuel macron has not been afraid to physically through the handshake or but opposition to donald trump on issues. there s hope in the heart of the french presidency that in the bilateral meeting that they can make progress on issues like syria and terrorism. friday will not only be the 1 fourth of july celebrations, dave, but the one-year anniversary since the nice attack when a terrorist plowed into a crowd of people watching the fireworks display killing 86. fighting terrorism is one of france s key issues right now. and of course, macron believes that in order to do that, the united states is a partner if whom they need to partner with whom they need to speak. the leaders two leaders, donald trump and emmanuel macron, will watch that display on friday morning. beyond the events of friday morning, even today, it will be a very military affair
sharp words for a bill that would let congress audit the fed. i would envision a situation where the gao at the request of members of congress might come in and say they believe that the decision we made was the wrong one at that particular meeting. and i would say that s an extreme interference and politicization of our ability to make independent monetary policy decisions. trying very hard to be separate from the political process in washington so they can make decisions not based on politics, not based on the party in power. yellen faces what could be her final congressional testimony today. the president has not said if he will reappoint her when her term ends in february. one of the interesting parlor games, will she stay, will she go. police in pennsylvania want to know how and why a man killed at least one person, left the remains in a common grave. an update on this bizarre case.
