Trump’s tweet comes amid reports that France has tried to arrange a meeting between the US and Iranian presidents at the G7 summit.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has replied to recent statements by US President Donald Trump by saying that France doesn’t require a green light from the US to hold negotiations with other states, including Iran.
