French President Emmanuel Macron plans to visit Germany in early July amid Franco-German disagreements over finance, energy, and China policy. Macron is expected to arrive in Germany on July 2 and stay until July 4.
The planned state visit takes place in a bilaterally sensitive period. Relations between Germany and France hit a snag last fall when Macron postponed a Franco-German joint government meeting and snubbed Scholz by canceling a press conference during the German leader's visit to the Elysee Palace.
