President Donald Trump has no plans to travel to Paris this week for an emergency Group of 7 summit proposed by his counterpart Emmanuel Macron, according to a White House official.

“President Trump has no plans to travel to Paris at this time,” the official said.

Macron raised the suggestion in a text message to Trump that the US president later shared on social media.

“i can set up a g7 meeting after Davos in Paris on thursday afternoon. I can invite the ukrainians, the danish, the syrians, and the russians in the margins,” Macron wrote in the message.

In his message to Trump, the French president also offered to arrange a dinner before Trump returned to Washington, DC.

France currently holds the rotating presidency of the G7. A leaders’ summit is planned for June in Évian-les-Bains.
