Trump dismisses Macron’s plan to recognize Palestinian state

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

“What he says doesn’t matter,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “He’s a very good guy. I like him, but that statement doesn’t carry weight.”
