Vance Meets French President Macron at Elysee Palace During AI Summit

Vice President JD Vance met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Feb. 11, 2025, during the AI Action Summit organized by Macron. The meeting covered U.S.-EU trade relations, NATO burden sharing, and AI governance frameworks; Macron had organized the summit to establish international AI governance norms, an initiative the Trump administration engaged with skeptically while continuing to roll back Biden-era domestic AI regulations.
