Liz Truss says ‘jury is out’ on whether France’s Macron is ‘friend or foe’
Liz Truss said the “jury is out” when asked if Emmanuel Macron is a “friend or foe” during the latest Conservative Party leadership hustings.
“If I become prime minister I will judge him on deeds, not words,” the foreign secretary said in Norwich.
When asked the same question by TalkTV host Julia Hartley-Brewer, fellow contender Rishi Sunak said Macron is a “friend.”
Shadow foreign secretary, Labour’s David Lammy, said Truss’ comments on the French prime minister showed a “woeful lack of judgement” by insulting a close ally.
