川普出訪法國，敘利亞和反恐議題優先

U.S. President Donald Trump departs Wednesday on a trip to France focused on counterterrorism talks with French President Emmanuel Macron and marking the 100th anniversary of U.S. troops entering World War I.

The two leaders are set to hold their meeting Thursday in Paris before speaking to reporters.

"We will talk about all the issues which are of interest to us both, including those about which we have disagreements when we have them, but also a lot of the issues on which we are working together -- the terrorism threat, the crises in Syria and Libya, and a lot of issues which are of interest to us both," Macron said.

A senior U.S. official told reporters the White House expects the situation in Syria and U.S.-French cooperation both there and on other counterterror issues to take up most of the discussion, while there could also be some follow-up to last week's G-20 summit in Germany.

France is part of the U.S.-led coalition that has been carrying out airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq since late 2014. A large majority of those strikes this year have taken place in Syria, where the militants have their de facto capital in the city of Raqqa.

Trump and Macron are both in their first year in office and have shown policy differences when it comes to international efforts to combat climate change. But they also share certain goals, such as reducing the number of employees in their respective governments.

The senior administration official described the relationship between the presidents as "very positive."

On Friday, Trump and his wife, Melania, will attend the annual Bastille Day parade, which will include both French and U.S. military members.

"The fact that we participated in such a major way in World War I, side by side with the French, is a clear parallel to what we're doing today," the senior administration official said. "We still live in a dangerous world. We still live in a world that has many, many threats."美國總統川普星期三啓程前往法國訪問。川普此行重點是與法國總統馬卡龍討論反恐議題，並紀念美國部隊加入第一次世界大戰作戰100週年。

川普和馬卡龍計劃星期四在巴黎會談，然後向記者發表講話。

馬卡龍說：“我們將討論雙方關心的所有議題，包括那些存在意見分歧的議題，但是也包括雙方合作的議題，比如恐怖主義威脅，敘利亞和利比亞危機，以及雙方共同關心的很多問題。”

美國一位高級官員告訴記者說，預計敘利亞局勢，以及美法在敘利亞和其它反抗方面的合作將是討論核心，會談也可能涉及上週在德國舉行的20國峯會的一些後續討論。

法國參加了以美國爲首從2014年底開始在敘利亞和伊拉克空襲伊斯蘭國武裝的行動。今年大部分空襲行動都發生在敘利亞，激進分子將敘利亞的拉卡定爲首都。

川普和馬卡龍都是任期第一年，二人在應對氣候變化的政策上存在分歧。但是他們二人也有着共同的目標，比如減少政府僱員人數。

美國政府高級官員說，川普和馬卡龍之間的關係“非常積極”。

川普星期五將攜夫人蔘加法國國慶日遊行，法國和美國的軍隊都會參加。

美國政府高層官員說：“我們在一戰中的積極參與，跟法國人肩並肩作戰，正是今天的寫照。我們依然生活在一個危險的世界裏，依然面臨衆多的威脅。”
