PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron has been inaugurated for a second term. He vowed to first take action to avoid any further escalation of Russia’s war in Ukraine before going on to focus on promoting France and Europe on the world stage. Macron was reelected for five years on April 24 in a runoff that saw him beat out far-right rival Marine Le Pen. Macron went from the ceremony on Saturday to the gardens of the Elysee palace. He listened to 21 cannon shots being fired from the Invalides plaza to mark the event before reviewing the troops.
