PARIS Another European city, another population U.S. President Donald Trump will have to try to win over.
As Trump touched down in France Thursday to celebrate Bastille Day and to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Americans' entry into World War I, many Parisians said they recognized the importance of a U.S. presidents visit but they wished that president wasnt Donald Trump.
America came to save Europe in World War I, so we owe them this, said Jean-Pierre Tourne, a teacher who was waiting for his friend outside the Louxor cinema in the northern Paris neighborhood of Barbes-Rochechouart.
We dont understand why the Americans elected him, but he's the U.S. president now, he added.

it.
