PARIS — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s visit to Paris (all times local):

7:20 p.m.

President Donald Trump is declining to repeat his criticism of Paris, which he frequently attributed to a friend named Jim.

The president has said previously that Jim used to visit Paris frequently but doesn’t anymore because of the threat from Islamic terrorism. Trump often indicated he agreed with that assessment.

Trump was asked during a news conference Thursday in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron (eh-mahn-yoo-EHL’ mah-KROHN’) whether he still shares those views.

Whatever we think of him, macron personally invited Trump to France so it’s hardly news that Trump would insult the president to his face. Good golly

Trump is still the President of Pittsburgh and not Paris unless you count the one in Texas.

Actually, the Compost article was written by the Associated Press. I found it to be totally informative, both factually and historically, and so very nicely detailed about the President's time so far in Paris.....plus the narrative was surprisingly even-handed without the usual snark and bias.

(This is so unlike AP that I almost had to pick myself up off the floor).
