DOW JONES–US President Donald Trump has ruled out a trip to Paris to meet French President Emmanuel Macron. Macron invited the US President to dinner on Thursday after his trip to Davos, Switzerland. Macron wrote this in a text message to Trump, which was then published by Trump on his social media page. Trump said of Macron: “There’s no longevity there. He’s a friend of mine. He’s a nice guy. I like Macron, but he won’t be around for very long.”
