STORYLINE:
President Trump and his wife Melania welcomed the President of France Emmanuel Macron and his wife to the White House for the administration's first state dinner.
Macron and his wife, Brigitte, arrived at the White House as a light rain fell Tuesday evening.
Macron opened a three-day state visit to the U.S. on Monday.
The French leader is scheduled to deliver an address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
State dinner tickets are highly sought after by Washington's political and business elite and the rather small guest list, compared to the hundreds of guests who came to some of President Barack Obama's dinners, gives Tuesday night's soiree a more exclusive feel.
In a break with tradition, Trump excluded congressional Democrats and journalists, said a White House official who was not authorized to discuss the arrangements publicly
