Different status during tax year and Income between two visas

Hello,

I was in J1 Trainee in the US receiving my income in France from October 2017 to March 2019. Then, I changed company, worked in France from April to July and prepared an E2 work visa with this company. Then, in August I moved back to the US with an E2 visa and I am here since. I am wondering how I should fill out my tax return for 2019. I don't know if my days in J1 count toward the presence test for example. And if I fill as resident, should I declare the French income since it's before I got the E2 visa? 

Thanks
