PARIS — The Muslim owner of a French grocery store said he was sickened by suspected arson attack on Tuesday that gutted his kosher business.

Trump last week canceled a trip to London in which he was to open the new diplomatic mission, blaming his White House predecessor Barack Obama for selling off the old one for “peanuts”.
