PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday his outgoing government will remain focused on the Olympic games in a caretaker role until mid-August, after which he will look to appoint a new prime minister.
Macron, in his first interview since elections in early July, acknowledged that his centrist party had lost the vote, but he declined to comment on a leftist front proposal for a new prime minister. He also ruled out resigning before his term ends.
