Macron invites Trump to Palace of Versailles dinner

French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly invited President Trump to a dinner at the Palace of Versailles following the upcoming Group of Seven (G7) summit in June. France will host this year’s G7 summit, an annual forum among the leading industrialized democracies of the world to collaborate on global policy, in the French town Évian-les-Bains June 15-17. France moved the dates back from June 14-16 to accommodate White House festivities, including a UFC fight, that will take place on June 14 alongside Trump’s 80th birthday. 

Last year, Trump left the summit, hosted by Canada, a day early because of a conflict in the Middle East involving Iran and Israel, which set back progress on reaching agreements between nations. 

Trump’s reported dinner invitation would commemorate the “shared history” between France and the U.S. ahead of America’s 250th birthday on July 4, two unnamed sources reportedly told Reuters, which first reported the invitation.
