“I say this to Donald Trump and the French president says it too: leave our nation be,” France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said.
France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian is speaking out for the French government following tweets from President Donald Trump about the state of France as the country enters another week of protests.
“We do not take domestic American politics into account and we want that to be reciprocated. I say this to Donald Trump and the French president says it too: leave our nation be,” Le Drian told LCI Television.
The message from the Foreign Minister comes a day after Trump fired off tweets about the ongoing Yellow Vest protests and the Paris Agreement.
“The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment.
