France won’t condition weapons sales to Egypt on human rights, Macron says
French President Emmanuel Macron also said he spoke "frankly" about human rights with his Egyptian counterpart.
French President Emmanuel Macron said his country will continue selling arms to Egypt despite calls to curb weapons sales in light of the Egyptian government’s poor human rights record.
"I will not condition matters of defense and economic cooperation on these disagreements," Macron said during a joint remarks with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
