After posing in front of Versailles' golden doors, Trump enjoyed a private tour of the chateau's glittering interior. And in a surprise move over a dinner of lobster, caviar and vanilla ice cream, he signed a memorandum on ending the war in Iran at a venue steeped in historical symbolism.

Donald Trump said Tuesday he had accepted President Emmanuel Macron's offer of dinner this week at Versailles as the palace of the Sun King Louis XIV is "the real deal".

The president said France's Palace of Versailles “is not a gold leaf” ahead of Wednesday event.
