France accuses Trump of lacking 'common decency' for tweets on anniversary of Paris attacks

Paris (CNN)Emmanuel Macron's spokesman accused Donald Trump of lacking "common decency" Wednesday after the US President blasted his French counterpart in a series of tweets following his visit to Paris.

During a pointed speech at the Elysée Palace in Paris, Benjamin Griveaux took issue with the timing of Trump's barbs on Tuesday, the same day the country marked the anniversary of the 2015 terror attacks in Paris which left 130 people dead.

"I'll answer you in two words about these tweets. Yesterday was the 13th of November. We commemorated the assassination of 130 of our compatriots three years ago in Paris and Saint Denis," he said. "So I will answer him in English; common decency would have been good. I will not have any other comment to make."

Griveaux was responding to a barrage of tweets from Trump on Tuesday, in which he mocked President Macron's low approval ratings, complained about France's "unfair" trade policy on products including wine, and criticized France for its near defeat to Germany in both world wars.
