Emmanuel Macron paid a visit to the Paris Air Show. There he encountered a U.S. delegation led by Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Macron walked between huge, widebody passenger jets by Boeing and Airbus and speedy, stealth military F-35 jets.

Later in the show he also met French astronaut Thomas Pesquet at a European Space Agency display. Pesquet recently returned from the International Space Station.
