President Obama and French President François Hollande promised to increase cooperation and expand attacks against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.
During a joint press conference with Hollande at the White House, Obama said that the United States and France "owe our freedom to each other."
After the Paris attacks, Obama said, "our hearts broke too."
"In that stadium, concert hall, restaurants and cafes we see our own," Obama said. "Today we stand with you."
Hollande arrived in Washington on Tuesday to talk to Obama about building a more robust international coalition to combat ISIS. Hollande is trying to get the big international players -- mainly the U.S., Russia and Germany -- on the same page.
Hollande will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.
On Morning Edition, NPR's Scott Horsley explained that Hollande is trying to bridge a tough divide: the United States and Russia have a fundamentally different view of the civil war in Syria.

Hollande can knock ISIS out of Raqqa/Syria with the help of the Syrians/Russians and Obama can easily knock out the J.V. in Mosul with or without Iraq’s finest. Right, Barry? Barry? CONgre$$?
AFP is FUBAR
No, no, no.
This is a religious civil war.
We don’t have a side.
France would be better served KEEPING OUT so-called refugees. Let Turkey and other Islamic countries house them in refugee camps until they can return back to their homes.
France would be better served deporting their Islamic population. Closing their borders. Call it a day.
Afterwards Hussein and his cronies hit the golf course and enjoyed a good laugh about the "frenchie" swallowing his lies hook, line and sinker.
