So….what happened?
The tree that Donald Trump planted with French President Emmanuel Macron is no longer on the South Lawn of the White House, instead there is a patch of discolored grass.
The sapling, a European Sessile Oak, was a gift during the State visit of the French president and his wife. In making the gift the French president tweeted, ‘this Oak Tree will be a reminder at the White House of these ties that bind us.’
Macron was referring to the World War I Battle of Belleau which was 100 years ago this June. 9000 US Marines were killed in the battle.
But now the tree is gone.
Reuters, on Saturday posted a picture of a patch of uneven, yellowed grass where the planting photo was taken.
The White House has not commented on where the tree is now.
