(25 Apr 2018) President Donald Trump has welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron to the administration's first state dinner.
Macron and his wife, Brigitte, arrived at the White House as a light rain fell Tuesday evening.
Trump and his wife, Melania, exchanged hugs and air kisses with the Macrons before going inside the White House for the festivities. About 130 guests have been invited.
Dinner guests included Vice President Mike Pence, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Apple CEO Tim Cook and two Winter Olympians who flashed medals on their way into the pre-dinner reception Tuesday.
Several Cabinet secretaries also attended, including Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who is awaiting Senate confirmation to become Trump's new secretary of state.
