Vice President Kamala Harris was asked how her trip to France has prepared her for the presidency as she walked out of a shop in Paris Saturday.
The vice president, who looked at the reporter with an expression of surprise, did not directly answer the question but instead touted the success of her diplomatic mission.
“I will tell you it was a very productive and a good trip,” she said, adding that the U.S. has “a lot of follow up to do.”
s we’ve discussed extensively over the past couple of days, this trip was about of course making clear the long-standing relationship, but also that as we go into a new era for the world that our work will continue,” Harris said.
“We do it with a sense of optimism, but with a sense of strong conviction that the partnership between the United States and France remains and will continue to be a very strong one.”
Harris joined French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week at an event at the Arc de Triomphe celebrating Armistice Day in remembrance of the end of WWI.
The pair appeared in good spirits, signaling improved ties between the U.S. and France following a sour submarine contract that left French officials feeling snubbed.—Agencies
