Macron says France won’t condition arms sales to Egypt
French President Emmanuel Macron (pictured) stated on Monday that the country won’t limit its arms sales to Egypt over human rights issues.
“I will not condition matters of defense and economic cooperation on these disagreements,” Macron said, claiming that “it is more effective to have a policy of demanding dialogue than a boycott which would only reduce the effectiveness of one [France’s] partners in the fight against terrorism.”
Macron’s comments come following a meeting with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
