Macron Responds to Truss Saying 'Jury's Out' on Whether French President Is Friend or Foe

Aug 26, 2022 French president Emmanuel Macron has said Britain and France will maintain friendly ties irrespective of who becomes prime minister. 'If we are not able, between the French and British, to say whether we are friends or enemies – the term is not neutral – we are headed towards serious problems' said Macron during a state visit to Algeria.

Macron responded to a remark by the foreign secretary, Liz Truss, at hustings in Norwich in which she cast doubt on whether she considered Macron a friend or foe of the UK. 'If I become prime minister, I'll judge him on deeds not words,' she said.

‘Serious problem’ if France and UK can’t tell if they are friends or enemies, says Macron. Liz Truss criticised for saying ‘jury’s out’ on Emmanuel Macron being friend or foe


What a stupid bloody woman Liz Truss (Ms Trust) is! Such an injudicious comment on our closest neighbour and our friends’ president. This woman is unfit for the office she is running for. – © Mark Alexander
