Besides gifting a Saint James sweater and LIP watch, Macron also gave Joe Biden a 2012 Christofle cup to renowned Christofle’s Atlantic crossing aboard the SS Normandie ocean liner. Emmanuel gifted Jill Biden copies of Gustave Flaubert’s book Madame Bovary and Albert Camus’s The Plague, The Fall, Exile and the Kingdom, and Selected Essays.

Emmanuel Macron and Kamala Harris’s meeting at NASA was called to discuss extant alliance in space science and space exploration, along with the data accumulated from Space to cope with climate change one year after they talked about the issues in Paris.
Kamala Harris said, “I believe Space remains a place of undiscovered and unrealized opportunities. For that reason, there’s so much potential in terms of the work that nations can do there. And in particular, when we work together, based on shared principles and values, to seize these opportunities.”
Emmanuel Macron said Space was a new place of dispute. They had amazing and crazy players in this Space as well, and they had rat states and new hybrid attacks. And he thought it was very crucial together because they did share that history. They do have the same commitment and bond to science and development that they did exchange, as well as democratic ethics, and he thought making those new rules and setting them together was very crucial for them.
