The French government lashed at the European Commission for its decision to send the Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica, as an observer to the first formal gathering of United States President Donald Trump's Board of Peace on Thursday, saying she doesn't have a "mandate".
"The European Commission never should have attended the meeting of the "Board of Peace" in Washington today, as it had not received a mandate from the Council of the EU," Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot wrote on social platform X.
