Asked if Australia's leader was untruthful, France's president responds: 'I don't think, I know.'
French President Emmanuel Macron has said Australia's PM Scott Morrison lied to him about a scrapped submarine deal.Mr Macron was furious after Australia cancelled a $37bn deal to build 12 submarines, and instead negotiated a new defence pact with the US and the UK - the so-called Aukus.
On the sidelines of the gathering in Rome, President Macron was asked by an Australian journalist whether he could trust Mr Morrison again."I have a lot of respect for your country. I have a lot of respect and a lot of friendship for your people. I just say when we have respect, you have to be true and you have to behave in line and consistently with this value."
