France ‘surprised’ by Trump criticism over military overflights

PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said Tuesday it was “surprised” by Donald Trump’s criticism of France, stressing the country’s position on US military overflights had not changed. Taking to his Truth Social platform, the US president lashed out at France, saying it did not let “planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory.” “We are surprised by this tweet,” the French presidency said, referring to Trump’s post in which he accused France of being “very unhelpful” in the US-Israeli war on Iran.
