Macron assures Liz Truss that France "will always be a friend" of the United Kingdom regardless of "its leaders"

MADRID, 26 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

French President Emmanuel Macron has assured UK Conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss that her country will always be "a friend" to the British in response to doubts expressed by Truss about the future of the relationship. between the two countries and with the French president.

Truss had declared on Thursday that his personal "jury" was still "deliberating" on whether to consider Macron "friend or foe" during a debate with his main rival for the leadership of the Conservative Party and the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

"The United Kingdom is a friend of France," Macron reproached during his visit to Algeria. "If we are not able to decide whether we are friends or enemies, we have serious problems. The British nation is a friendly nation, regardless of its leaders and its platform speeches," he added, in statements collected by BFMTV.

Truss added that she will judge Macron "by his deeds and not by his words" during Thursday's debate -- in which Sunak unhesitatingly described France as a friendly country -- in a paragraph that brought to light the tensions between Paris and London both for the 'Brexit' and for the migratory problems.
