President Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron have agreed to join efforts in fighting the coronavirus outbreak.
The two presidents spoke on the phone Wednesday to discuss the latest challenges to public health in the U.S. and France. President Trump and President Macron said they will coordinate scientific, economic and health responses.
Earlier this week, Macron issued restrictions on mass gatherings in his country and advised people to avoid close personal contacts in public. The French president said transparency is key to defeating the virus.
“During the period we are going through and that we will go through, because we have entered a phase that will last weeks even possibly months, it is paramount to show clarity, resilience, nerves and determination to slow the epidemic,” stated the French leader. “Which is what we are doing and then fight it.”
 According to the White House, President Trump likes Macron’s proposals and noted the two will work together ahead of the upcoming G7 summit in June.
