Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron. Newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the Elysee Palace in Paris on Thursday for a joint cabinet meeting between their governments. "The aim of this joint fighter jet project is to do research and development together... to use it together... and to coordinate on exports," Macron said, calling it "a profound revolution." "I want the eurozone to have more coherence and convergence," Macron said in an interview with Ouest-France newspaper on Thursday. Immediately after meeting Merkel, Macron headed off to welcome Trump to Paris at the former military hospital Les Invalides, Napoleon's final resting place.
