Britain is not 'serious' on migrant crisis: Macron

Macron, during a news conference held in Rome with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, said Johnson's letter, which the British leader published on Twitter on Thursday (November 25), was not a "serious" way of handling matters.

The decision underlined the poor post-Brexit relations between the two countries and the difficulties they may face working together to curb the flow of migrants.

Draghi and Macron signed a treaty on Friday to strengthen bilateral ties at a time when European diplomacy is being tested by the departure of Germany's Angela Merkel.
