A US economist has decided not to take up a job advising the European Commission, after French president Emmanuel Macron expressed doubts about hiring an American for the role. Macron said that the EU executive hiring an American had raised "many questions" -- noting that neither the United States nor China would hire a foreigner to such a job.
