Paris, July 13 US President Donald Trump arrived here on Thursday for a two-day visit in a diplomatic move to soften divergence with France over climate change and trade liberalisation by seeking common ground on security and fight against terrorism. Trump arrived at Orly airport south of Paris early in the morning, beginning his second European trip in two weeks.
President Donald Trump and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, are looking to set aside differences on trade and climate change and find common ground as they meet Thursday ahead of Bastille Day celebrations in Paris.

Reporters covering President Donald Trump's trip to Paris are getting off to a rather chaotic start after a segment of his motorcade was separated from him. The president arrived early Thursday morning and was whisked away from Paris Orly Airport to the U.S. ambassador's residence in central Paris.
President Trump left for his third trip abroad on Wednesday amid yet another cloud of controversy at home in what has become a familiar pattern for his foreign travel. Trump's visit to Paris for Bastille Day - during which France marks a key moment at the outset of the French Revolution with annual celebrations - comes less than a week after he returned from the G-20 summit in Germany and less than two days after his son published documents that suggested high-level campaign officials accepted a meeting with a Russian lawyer peddling "sensitive" information about Hillary Clinton during the presidential race.
President Donald Trump's visit to Paris on Thursday will take him to a city he has repeatedly derided - and at the side of a French leader best known to Americans as the earnest young man with the endless handshake. "Paris isn't Paris any longer," Trump declared in February, implying the city had been ruined by jihadi attacks.

HAMBURG, Germany - With broad grins and a warm handshake, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin warmed up for their historic encounter on Friday under the shadow of U.S. outrage about Russian election-meddling and nagging questions about potential Trump campaign collusion.
There's no secret about which of the two American presidents German Chancellor Angela Merkel is meeting Thursday that she likes the most. On a day of odd political coincidences, Merkel sat down with one President she calls a friend and with whom she shares a political wavelength -- Barack Obama, and another, with whom she has had a frosty start -- Donald Trump.
President Trump decided to land in Warsaw, Poland a day before heading to the international meeting of the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany : The president will give what National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster billed last week as a "major speech" to the Polish people Thursday in Krasinski Square. He is expected to commemorate the Polish people's bravery during World War II, while calling for allies to confront today's challenges with the same courage.

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst - RTX37RGG U.S. President Donald Trump will get a chance to patch up trans-Atlantic ties this week when he meets with NATO allies still rattled by his failure on an earlier trip to embrace the principle that an attack against one member is an attack against all.
Back when Poland was part of the Soviet bloc, the Communist Party would bus people into Warsaw from the provinces to ensure there was a compliant crowd to welcome high-level visitors from Moscow. Now with President Donald Trump heading to Poland this week for a day-long state visit, the country's right-wing government is tapping the old playbook.
Judging by a just-released poll from the Pew Research Center, President Donald Trump is heading to next week's G-20 meeting in Germany with a resounding global vote of no confidence. Only 22 percent of more than 40,000 respondents from 37 countries had confidence in Trump doing the right thing regarding world affairs; 64 percent felt that way about Barack Obama at the end of his presidency.

President Donald Trump's decision to visit France on its national day next month at the invitation of new President Emmanuel Macron represents a shrewd political calculation by both leaders. Trump announced Wednesday that he would be in Paris on Bastille Day, July 14, for a day of pageantry at an event that will mark 100 years since the US entry into World War I. The US President, on his second trip to Europe in two weeks -- he heads to Germany for the G20 summit and Poland next week -- will bask in the pomp of his official role as commander-in-chief at a time when he is under political siege at home.
The world has little confidence in US President Donald Trump compared to his predecessor Barack Obama, according to a new report by Pew Research. A survey of residents in 37 nations across the world released on Tuesday found that since Trump took office in January, the US's image overseas has sharply declined and views of the new US leader in general are largely negative.
Martin Schulz, the leader of Germany's Social Democrats , slammed Chancellor Angela Merkel Sunday for not standing up to U.S. President Donald Trump. Schulz tried to relaunch SPD's election campaign at the party convention by distancing himself from Merkel.
President Donald Trump has yet to condemn an attack on Muslim worshippers in London, the latest instance in which he has appeared slower to speak out about violence when Muslims are the victims. Unlike with other recent attacks targeting civilians, there were no early-morning tweets voicing sympathy for the victims or vowing a renewed fight against violent ideologies.
In the wake of President Trump's exit from the Paris climate treaty, reactions from other quarters were predictably swift, nasty, sanctimonious and hypocritical. Al Gore paused near one of the private jets he takes to hector lesser mortals to say the action will bring "a global weather apocalypse."
