President Obama Shows 'Our Resolve' in 1st Paris Visit Since Attacks
- 8 years ago
President Obama extended his condolences to the people of France today and reaffirmed the United States' solidarity with the country in the wake of the deadly terror attacks that ravaged Paris two weeks ago.
"We have come to Paris to show our resolve," President Obama said in his first public remarks at the United Nation's summit on climate change.
"We offer our condolences to the people of France for the barbaric attacks on this beautiful city.
We stand united in solidarity not only to deliver justice to the terrorist network responsible for those attacks but to protect our people and uphold the enduring values that keep us strong and keep us free."
The president, in his first visit to France since the Paris massacre, reflected on the collection of heads of state for the climate conference, asking "what greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it?"
