The Odd Case of the Missing White House Tree

Emmanuel Macron's gift disappears...

Only a small patch of yellow grass is seen where the sapling was planted.

A sapling presented to President Donald Trump by French President Emmanuel Macron last week has disappeared from its new spot on the White House grounds, bbc.com reports.

The pair planted the young tree, taken from the site of a World War One battle in northeast France, during Mr. Macron's state visit last week, according to bbc.com.

Mr. Macron said the tree would be a reminder of "these ties that bind us."

But a Reuters photographer on Saturday took a shot of only a yellow patch of grass on the White House south lawn where the tree once stood.
