BREAKING - Macron says France has convinced Trump to 'stay in Syria long-term' @AFP

French president Emmanuel Macron has claimed that he convinced Donald Trump to keep troops in Syria for the long term and limit Saturday’s joint strikes to chemical weapons facilities.
Macron said in an interview on Sunday that restricting the missile strikes to specific targets was not necessarily Trump’s initial plan. “We also persuaded him that we needed to limit the strikes to chemical weapons [sites], after things got a little carried away over tweets,” he said.
The French president also said: “Ten days ago, President Trump was saying ‘the United States should withdraw from Syria’. We convinced him it was necessary to stay. We convinced him it was necessary to stay for the long term.”

I've underestimated Macron.
I thought him another beta Euro-male, but he may have a little Napoleon in him.

I don’t think he convinced Trump. It’s more like Bolton convinced him.
Trump would like to be the most popular leader. Right now Macron is the most popular leader in Europe and is liked more by almost all countries.

I think we can trust France when it comes to the mid-east. They were right about Iraq all along.
