JOINT BASE ANDREWS (Reuters) – U.S. President Biden said he felt good about the outcome of the French election and will speak with re-elected President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

“I feel good about the French election,” Biden told reporters. Macron defeated far-right rival Marine Le Pen on Sunday in a victory hailed as a reprieve for mainstream politics.
