Kerry Makes Surprise Paris Visit

Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Paris on Monday, November 16, to meet with officials and to attend a ceremony paying tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks. Kerry said, “We are all Parisians,” outside the US Embassy in Paris, which was lit up with the French flag.

“Tonight, the US Embassy in Paris joins the many other landmarks around the world shining the bleu, blanc, rouge lights of the French Republic. We do so as a reminder to the brave people of France that your American sisters and brothers will stand with you, shoulder to shoulder, as we have stood together throughout history,” said Kerry, who also paid tribute to American student Nohemi Gonzalez, who was killed in Friday’s attack.
