(CNN) — A new 'friendship tree' will be sent to the White House after the one that France presented to the United States last year died while in quarantine, the French President has said.
In an interview with Swiss public television RTS, Emmanuel Macron confirmed that the tree he planted together with US President Donald Trump in 2018 was indeed dead.
"But we will send him another one. It is not a drama," Macron said Tuesday.
In 2018, Macron tweeted a video of the tree-planting ceremony on Twitter, saying the oak tree would be a "reminder, in the heart of the White House, of this bond that unites us."
