CNN —There’ll be a strong sense of déjà vu when French President Emmanuel Macron lays the flattery on thick for Donald Trump in Paris this weekend.
The president seeks to highlight US commitment to sub-Saharan Africa in the face of China’s investment-led regional power play.
Trump never made it to Africa as president and seemed more interested in insulting the continent than helping it.

Trump will arrive in Paris shortly after selecting Charles Kushner, the father-in-law of his daughter Ivanka as the next US ambassador to France.
