And that is going to wrap up this hour of msnbc live. Katie tur is going to take over. Its 11 00 a. M. Out west, its 2 00 p. M. In washington where it is day two of french president emanuel macron are meeting at the white house. Well see if that special relationship between macron and the president can change the president s mind on a host of issues, primarily the Iran Nuclear Deal.
