French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron has called on US scientists, academics and entrepreneurs at odds with Donald Trump’s administration to move to France. “I want all those who today embody innovation and excellence in the United States to hear what we say: from now on, from next May, you will have a new homeland – France,” he said on Saturday. Can Emmanuel Macron win the French election? Macron also made a thinly veiled dig at Trump’s intention to build a wall along the Mexican border, comparing it with France’s Maginot Line, which in 1940 failed to keep Nazi opponents out of France. I can assure you there’s no wall in my programme,” he told about 8,000 cheering supporters.
