Macron offers to reset France-Britain ties if Johnson stands by Brexit deal

French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly told PM Boris Johnson during a bilateral meeting at the G7 summit that Franco-British ties can be reset as long as Britain honours the Brexit deal it signed with the EU.

French President Emmanuel Macron offered on Saturday to reset relations with Britain as long as Prime Minister Boris Johnson stands by the Brexit divorce deal he signed with the European Union. Since Britain completed its exit from the EU late last year, relations with the bloc and particularly France have soured, with Macron becoming the most vocal critic of London's refusal to honour the terms of part of its Brexit deal. At a meeting at the Group of Seven rich nations in southwestern England, Macron told Johnson the two countries had common interests, but that ties could improve only if Johnson kept his word on Brexit, a source said.
