THE PRESIDENT IN PARIS: President Trump arrived in Paris early this morning, and is set to spend the day with French President Emmanuel Macron, who invited his U.S. counterpart to celebrate Bastille Day in the city of lights. Trump is scheduled to take part in a joint news conference with Macron after the two meet later today. Macron is pulling out all the stops to show the American president France’s military and culinary might. The highlights include a massive military parade down the Champs de Elysee, and a gourmet dinner atop the Eiffel Tower.
In two separate interviews president gave before departing Washington, Trump insisted the White House was not in turmoil over the revelations that his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., met with a Russian lawyer last summer. “The mood in the White House is fantastic,” Trump told Reuters. “The White House is functioning beautifully. The stock market has hit a new high. Job numbers are the best they’ve been in 16 years. We have a Supreme Court judge already confirmed. Energy is doing levels that we’ve never done before.”
