Hollande's visit to the US is the first by any head of state since 2011
listen
François Hollande's visit to Washington signals a new era in US-French relations.
Forgotten are the days when France stood opposed to the US venture in Iraq; gone from the menu are the Freedom Fries. These days, the two countries find themselves largely in step on a wide range of international issues.
France's robust military response to threats in Mali and the Central African Republic, their tough stance on Iran's nuclear programme and Mr Hollande's willingness to strike the Syrian regime - albeitthat the US stood in his way - have put France in a leading position among Washington's traditional allies.
