French President Emmanuel Macron has claimed that his US counterpart, Donald Trump, has made an offer for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
“There is an offer that has been made, especially to have a ceasefire and to initiate broader discussions,” Macron told reporters at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada on Monday.
“If the United States of America can achieve a ceasefire, it is a very good thing and France will support it and we wish for it,” Macron said, speaking in French.
“It is absolutely essential that all strikes from both sides against energy, administrative, and cultural infrastructures, and even more so against the civilian population, cease,” he said, adding: “Nothing justifies this.”
