Washington: US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump set out for Paris to attend a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
Officials said the president would take the opportunity to highlight the vital role played by the United States in restoring peace and security in Europe, CNN reported on Friday.
The president confirmed his presence at the centennial ceremony after determining in August that the price of $ 90 million for the military parade he had commanded in Washington was too high.
He then declared that he "would go to the parade of Paris" instead.
During his trip, Trump will visit two burial sites near Paris for some 117,000 American soldiers who died during the First World War.
Sunday – Veterans Day in the United States – he will deliver a speech by Suresnes, the American cemetery perched on the side of Mount Valerian.
The only leader Trump will meet officially is his host, French President Emmanuel Macron.
