Trump congratulates Macron on his 'big win' in France
By John Wagner May 7 at 4:55 PM
BEDMINSTER, N.J. — President Trump on Sunday took to Twitter to congratulate Emmanuel Macron for winning France’s presidential election, giving a nod to a centrist who didn’t seem to have been his preferred candidate.
“Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his big win today as the next President of France,” Trump said in his tweet. “I look very much forward to working with him!”
A brief, more formal statement followed a few minutes later in which White House press secretary Sean Spicer added, “We look forward to working with the new President and continuing our close cooperation with the French government.”

There was no word from the White House on whether Trump had made a congratulatory phone call.
The U.S. president had stopped short of making an endorsement in the race, saying it was up to the French people to pick their next leader.

Ivanka must have stolen his phone. Macron is as handsome as Trudeau and she's ready for his visit.
