U.S. President Barack Obama, right, meets with Francois Hollande, France's president, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, USA, on Tuesday, February 11, 2014. For an elite group of established and rising U.S. and French executives, tonight's state dinner and the other events held in conjunction with Hollande's U.S. visit provide a chance to network, burnish their images and lay the groundwork for future deals.
