According to The Telegraph, Johnson mentioned an agreement with Northern Ireland on Brexit, while Macron hinted that Northern Ireland is not part of Britain. This angered Johnson, writes the newspaper Emmanuel Macron (left) and Boris Johnson
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron quarreled during the G7 summit over Brexit, reports The Telegraph, citing a government source.
According to the newspaper, Johnson spoke about negotiations with Northern Ireland over Britain's exit from the EU and asked Macron what he would do if sausages from Toulouse could not be imported into Paris.
Macron said to this, according to The Telegraph, that the comparison is incorrect, since Paris and Toulouse are in the same country. According to the newspaper, the French president "erroneously assumed that Northern Ireland was not part of the UK."
Johnson, speaking to aides, expressed bewilderment at Macron's comment and later hinted at this situation in a conversation with Sky News, saying that some leaders should "get it into their heads" that Britain is a united country.
