This photograph is of guests attending a State Dinner held in honor President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic on December 1, 2022. The State Dinner was part of Macron's official State Visit with President Joseph R. Biden, and was preceded earlier in the day by a State Arrival Ceremony on the South Lawn and a joint press conference with Biden and Macron in the East Room of the White House. The State Dinner took place under a tent on the South Lawn and included decor in red, white, and blue - the common colors on the flags of the United States and France - and a performance by singer-songwriter Jon Batiste. Guests in this photograph include Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas (standing right) and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley (bottom left corner). This was Biden's first State Visit as president. This photograph was taken by Matthew D'Agostino for the White House Historical Association.
