French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Michel Barnier, the European Union's former Brexit negotiator, as his new prime minister. The decision comes after weeks of protracted discussions following an inconclusive snap election. Barnier, a 73-year-old conservative politician, is known for leading the EU's negotiations with Britain over its exit from the bloc from 2016-2021.
