President Trump travels to Paris today, for commemorations Sunday marking a-hundred years since the end of World War 1
— the anniversary of an armistice coming into effect at the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month in 1918.
The four-year war killed 17 million people, including an estimated 126-thousand Americans.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is also due in Paris, although he and President Trump are not expected to hold substantive talks.
