There was a misunderstanding with France and the French, ... sure that all that is behind us.

It is true that our two governments have economic and political disagreements, but the coordination and work done together have helped overcome the differences.

have the same values and the same interests.

For example, in Paris, if one desires to buy something, you enter the store and say "Good morning, sir" or "madam," depending on what is appropriate, you wait until you are greeted, you make polite chitchat about the weather or some such, and when the salesperson asks what they can do for you, then and only then do you bring up the vulgar business of the transaction you require.

I think that in France, we should do like the French people.
