Abstract
When Benjamin Franklin came to Paris in 1776, as the ambassador of the young and helpless British colony, he asked one of the most powerful countries in the world to help the thirteen soon to become "United-States" to emancipate and get rid of the unfair tax domination of the British Empire. Since the 4th of July and the "birth of a nation", France and the USA have treated each others with respect and gratitude. Nevertheless, the diplomatic relationships have not always been tender. This is why, at a time of great uncertainty in the two countries, with a Republican President on the go one the one hand, and with a brand new, so-called "centre-right" President on the other, it can be interesting to analyze whether the damaged relationships between France and the USA can truly be repaired and established on sound basis.
