(Sky News) President Donald Trump is in Paris for talks with French leader Emmanuel Macron, with the pair looking to set aside their differences on trade and climate change. They will also talk about potential solutions to the crisis in Syria and combating terrorism. The US President's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate change accord sparked outrage across Europe - and protests against Trump are planned while he is in the French capital. Mr Trump's visit comes amid growing controversy at home over his son's meeting with a Russian lawyer in the hope of unearthing compromising information on Hillary Clinton, the Republican's rival for the presidency. |
