France says Trump should have shown 'common decency' on anniversary of Paris attacks
- 5 years ago
France has lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump over a series of Tuesday tweets in which he mocked his French counterpart.
Trump criticized Emmanuel Macron and his government over trade, the French leader's warnings about nationalism, plans for a European army, the country's wine industry and Macron's approval ratings.
The barrage of tweets came as France marked the third anniversary of the Bataclan terrorist attacks, which left 130 people dead.
The following day, Macron's spokesman had this to say…
"Yesterday was November 13th. We were commemorating the assassination of 130 of our compatriots three years ago in Paris and Saint-Denis and so I will reply in English: 'Common decency' would have been appropriate."
