First Lady Dr. Jill Biden spoke warmly with reporters on Friday after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte Macron, ahead of the Group of 20 summit in Italy this weekend.
Dressed similarly in black-and-navy skirt suits, the 70-year-old Biden said she and the 68-year-old French first lady were like “two friends together, just like sisters.”
The two chatted at Il Marchese, a restaurant housed in an ornate building near the Tiber river. As they exited, the first lady said the meeting was “wonderful.”
“We’ve come here so many times,” she told reporters. “I love Italy, Brigitte loves Italy. Who would not love Italy? There’s nothing that we couldn’t love about it, right?”
Biden’s spokesman told members of the press pool that the conversation between the women looked warm while they drank white wine and could be seen nibbling on something.
When asked what they ate and drank, however, Biden told reporters: “Well, practically nothing.”
