Trump speaking at
Suresnes American Cemetery.
US President Donald Trump paid his respects to
the thousands of American soldiers who died in World War I, saying, "It is
our duty to preserve the civilization they defended and secure the peace they
so nobly gave their lives for one century ago."
Speaking at Suresnes American Cemetery, just
outside Paris, Trump called out to six US veterans from World War II who were
in the crowd, and a 13-year-old American boy who had saved his money to attend
the event.
"On this day in the year 1918, church
bells rang out and celebrations ensued," Trump told the crowd.
"But victory had come at a terrible
cost," he added. "Countless would come home bearing the grisly scars
of trench warfare."
Paying tribute to the
French and American soldiers who fought side-by-side, Trump said: "You
cannot fight better than we fought together."
