'If we are not able, between the French and British, to say whether we are friends or enemies – the term is not neutral – we are headed towards serious problems,' said Macron during a state visit to Algeria.

Macron responded to a remark by the foreign secretary, Liz Truss, at a hustings in Norwich in which she cast doubt on whether she considered Macron a friend or foe of the UK. 'If I become prime minister, I'll judge him on deeds not words,' she said.
