Boris Johnson Welcomes Emmanuel Macron for Talks in London

Boris Johnson has met French President Emmanuel Macron in Downing Street to mark the 80th anniversary of a famous wartime broadcast.
In 1940, French Resistance leader Charles de Gaulle used the BBC to send a radio message to Nazi-occupied France, urging people not to give up the struggle against Hitler.
Mr Johnson praised the “courage and sacrifice” of those who fought on.
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall welcomed Mr Macron to the UK.
And the Red Arrows and their French counterparts, La Patrouille, performed a flypast above London to mark the occasion.
During their meeting, Mr Johnson and Mr Macron discussed post-Brexit trade arrangements between the UK and EU, with No 10 saying the prime minister “welcomed the agreement to intensify talks in July”.
A spokesperson added that he had restated that the UK “does not believe it makes sense for there to be prolonged negotiations into the autumn”. The “transition period” – during which the UK remains in the EU single market and customs union – is due to finish at the end of the year.
The two leaders also talked about easing the 14-day coronavirus quarantine measures in place for visitors to – and UK citizens returning to – the UK.
Mr Macron was exempt from the requirements, as a “representative of a foreign country on business”. (BBC)
