The two met at the US Embassy in Brussels (Belgium) on the sidelines of a NATO Summit.

Trump says Macron had an "incredible victory, all over the world they're talking about it." He added that the two have a lot to discuss, including terrorism.

President Trump welcomed Macron to the US embassy in Brussels, stating: “We have a lot to discuss, including terrorism and other things. Congratulations. Great job.”

Macron said: “I’m also very happy to be with President Trump”.

“We have an extremely large agenda to discuss: the fight against terrorism, the economy, climate and energy.”

France was one of the key states which dropped its opposition to NATO formally joining the US-led coalition fighting Islamic State, one of Mr Trump's key demands./.
