U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Paris to show American solidarity with France after last week’s deadly terror attacks.
Kerry landed in the French capital on Monday under unusual security precautions that precluded journalists accompanying with him from reporting his planned visit — believed to be the first such restriction for a secretary of state’s travel to a European capital.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said Kerry will meet and thank U.S. Embassy staffers and hold talks with French officials.
Kirby said Kerry will reiterate America’s commitment to the strong U.S.-France relationship, express condolences to the victims of the attacks and reiterate the shared resolve to counter violent extremism in France and elsewhere.

A phone call would have done it. Absolutely no need to waste so much taxpayer money to fly out there trying to look more needed then he is. Oh by the way, after those attacks in January of this year where many world leaders flew out to France to show solidarity with the French people,that’s when Kerry should have gone. No one needs him now.
“Kerry In Paris To Show US Support For France After Attacks” is he supporting the french fries or the arabs ?
