Trump, Macron Agree on 'Need to Counter Hizbullah, Iran Activities'
French President Emmanuel Macron has telephoned his counterparts in the U.S. and Egypt, Donald Trump and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, as well as the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss "the situation in the Middle East."
According to a White House statement issued overnight, Macron and Trump "agreed on the need to work with allies to counter Hizbullah's and Iran's destabilizing activities in the region."
Macron had told reporters Friday that France wanted "dialogue" with Iran and aimed to "build peace… not to choose one side over another."
