The American Response to Macron's Withdrawal From Washington
Celia, you know Washington very well. What in your view is the likely American reaction to this? I mean, their official comments have been to play this down and Franco-American relations are just recovering from the shock of orcas when France briefly even withdrew its ambassador from Washington. Do you think the Americans will shrug this off or do you think they'll be very concerned? We've already seen very strong reactions, for example, from Florida Senator Marco Rubio who questioned whether Macron was speaking on behalf of Europe. The administration itself is more careful, does not want to pick a fight when there's no need.
