Macron slams Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem

French President Emmanuel Macron says U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital was an “error” and France has no plans to follow in his footsteps.
Macron met Wednesday with France’s leading Jewish group, which urged France to make a similar recognition.

Macron said that if France did the same, “we would lose this status of honest broker, which is the only useful one for the region” — a status that the U.S. can no longer enjoy.
