U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday, expressing her commitment to strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries, her office said in a statement.

President Joe Biden, a former vice president himself under Barack Obama, has had Harris at his side for multiple events during his early White House tenure, indicating he wants her to have a key role in implementing his political and policy agenda.

The call with Macron, leader of a G7 nation, shows Harris is taking a role in foreign policy as well, an area in which the former U.S. senator from California has significantly less experience than Biden.

Biden, a Democrat who took over from Republican former President Donald Trump on Jan. 20, has sought to re-engage with allies and with global institutions after four years of his predecessor's "America First" mantra.

Biden had previously spoken with both Trudeau and Macron in January.

The old man is no longer capable of a conversation that goes beyond “hi”. Looks like Harris will be the face of our international relations.

I know what you are all thinking, it’s not funny. The United States is a laughingstock for the whole world to see. The demon rats have defiled our country.

Wasn’t there a story shared here recently in which Macron said he really does not like the young American “wokes” and their destructive behaviour.

Correct. With woke Democrats in charge, we’re looking to foreign governments like France for sanity regarding Western Civilization. It is a sad thing.

Macron had to talk to Harris because Biden is incoherent but I’m sure he was impressed with her depth and intellect!🤮
