President Trump's first state visit — with guest of honor French President Emmanuel Macron — will be held April 24, the White House announced Monday.

“This visit will advance American and French cooperation on economic and global issues and deepen the friendship between the two countries," Press Secretary Sarah Sander said. Trump visited France last year to celebrate Bastille Day in July.

The president has hosted several foreign leaders since taking office, but none has been an official state visit.

Macron's visit was announced earlier this year.
