But again it is also in our interests to help France where possible.
The two nations share military operations and have broader similar geopolitical interests. Oftentimes more aligned which each other than America. This incident aside it's infuriating how the politicians of both nations seem to approach the relationship with such antagonism.

Unless the Républicains manage to make inroads or Mélenchon has an unexpected surge the final round of the Presidental Election is Le Pen vs Macron. In that event, Macron is going to have a tough election but is still the favourite.
He is, at the moment, far from a 'dead man walking' electorally. He is competitive. Hollande was a deadman walking electorally last time.
