Trump's attack on Macron lacked 'common decency', France says
US President Donald Trump's tweets mocking his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron were inappropriate and showed a lack of "common decency", France says.
On Tuesday, Mr Trump attacked Mr Macron over nationalism, plans for a European army and the French leader's ratings.
"We were marking the murder of 130 of our people," French government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said, referring to the 2015 Paris attacks.
It follows Mr Trump's awkward Armistice Day visit to Paris over the weekend.
Mr Griveaux said 13 November was a date for France to mark the tragic incidents of three years ago in Paris and Saint-Denis, when co-ordinated suicide bombings and mass shootings killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more.
"So I will reply in English: 'common decency' would have been the appropriate thing," he told reporters on Wednesday.
