Macron's speech to Congress:

www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/french-president-macron-charms-both-parties-in-an-impassioned-speech-to-congress/2018/04/25/bbd600ba-4894-11e8-827e-190efaf1f1ee_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.6c7b181a9c92

Will this go down in history along with 'Ich bin ein Berliner and 'I have a Dream'?

That would be the good news Jalima. Thanks for posting the link.

I thought his speech was most impressive - after the bromance yesterday with Trump I am so glad that he stood up in Congress and spoke with passion - and audacity about what matters to us all.

Yes, impressive and encouraging. And although his speech was probably grammar-checked for him his English and ease of using it puts to shame our ministers’ inability/refusal to speak French.
