U.S. President Donald Trump has accepted the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron, to attend the country's traditional Bastille Day military parade to be held on July 14.

Macron invited Trump and First Lady Melania Trump to attend the parade that is held in the French capital every year on July 14

This year, the event will mark "the 100th anniversary of the US joining the war with French troops in World War I," an official in Macron's office said.

Both the leaders have differences over the Paris Agreement on climate change.

President Donald Trump on June 2 decided to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate accord citing that the 2015 agreement was detrimental to the United States economy.

 

In response, Macron invited American climate researchers to move to France. The Macron's administration even released edited version of a White House video explaining why the Paris climate accord was a 'bad deal" for the U.S.
