The unlikely personal rapport between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump raises Frances global profile.
Mr Macrons close relationship with Mr Trump makes France Americas primary European contact He recently claimed to have convinced his American counterpart to stay engaged in Syria, but that was quickly denied by the White House. And so far, despite raising expectations, theres little evidence of the French leaders influence over President Trump on key issues like climate change, the Iran nuclear deal, or the status of Jerusalem. This visit will be a chance to discuss those policy differences with the US, with France hoping to agree "a document of recommendations" with Washington ahead of Mr Trumps planned withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement next month.President Macron will also talk to Donald Trump about his planned tariffs on EU steel and aluminium, the conflict in Syria, and Washingtons controversial decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.But, even without any concrete influence over these issues, theres intrinsic value for Mr Macron in his relationship with Donald Trump.

Mr Macron began his presidency with a commitment to restore French status abroad and a sense of its mission in the world. Lofty aims, which he believes are key to France regaining a sense of national identity and optimism.His close relationship to Donald Trump, even without much policy influence, raises Frances global profile and boosts its influence and leverage elsewhere.Emmanuel Macrons diplomatic trademark is strong personal connections combined with robust policy differences - a delicate juggling act, on occasion. President Trumps relationships can be unpredictable - analysts point out that Macron has been careful not to criticise him personally. And if Mr Trumps decisions directly harm French interests, Emmanuel Macron could find himself on the receiving end of far more damaging criticism - from French voters.In which case, the relationship that boosts the French presidents status abroad could end up scuppering it at home.
