Rishi Sunak and Emmanuel Macron both got into the footballing spirit ahead of England’s World Cup quarter-final tie with France.
In a light-hearted exchange on Twitter, the French president asked the Prime Minister if he would support France in the semi-final if his side emerged victorious.“If Les Bleus win , you’ll wish us luck in the semi-final… right?”“Look forward to you getting behind the Three Lions in the next round.”, looking forward to the game tonight.
While the pair appeared to patch things up later, with Ms Truss attending a meeting of Mr Macron’s European Political Community summit in Prague and labelling him a “friend”, the remarks did little to ease the post-Brexit tensions between the two countries which have also been fuelled by rows about migrant Channel crossings.
