In nearly nine years, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron met with Donald and Melania Trump on numerous occasions . According to political journalist Ania Nussbaum, the first meeting between the US president and the first lady took place at the Bastille Day parade on July 14, 2017, as she recounts in her book " Accredited: Seven Years at Macron's Palace " (published by Seuil on January 23, 2016). The American couple accepted the invitation from the president-elect, who had only been in office for a few months, even though Donald Trump had just withdrawn the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. "That evening, in front of Brigitte Macron, Trump remarked, 'She's in good shape!'" writes Nussbaum, correspondent at the Élysée Palace for Bloomberg News . An awkward comment alluding to the age difference between the French president and his wife.
