The LA event, which reportedly cost almost €400,000 (£354,000), was orchestrated by Business France, a state body promoting French business interests abroad, at a time when Mr Macron was economy minister under the then Socialist government of his predecessor Francois Hollande.

Because we all know that France is the nexus of a vibrant consumer electronics industry. [/sarcasm]

The trip cost $400,000? Heck, for that amount you could buy out the entire French electronics industry.

Did his grand-maw wife approve of this trip? Even a Roman God ruler needs approval from grand-maw.

You would think that France would be smart enough to ban use of public money for personal use but I guess that’s the nature of socialism.
