    Macron hits out at US isolationism and says EU unity more important than UK relations

    Macron hits out at US isolationism and says EU unity more important than UK relations post-Brexit

    Emmanuel Macron, the French president, on Monday said preserving European Union unity was more important than forging a close relationship with post-Brexit Britain, and hit out at what he called US President Donald Trump's "aggressive" isolationism.

    Mr Macron, who met Theresa May, the prime minister, for talks on Britain's departure from the EU during the summer holiday, said he wanted to reach a Brexit deal by the end of the year and showed no signs of breaking ranks with other EU capitals.

    "France wants to maintain a strong, special relationship with London but not if the cost is the European Union's unravelling," he told a gathering of French ambassadors.

    On Brexit, Mr Macron said, "is a sovereign choice, which we must respect, but it can't come at the expense of the European Union's integrity."
