Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan also suggested one of the reasons to justify such a comment could be the level of co-operation from France in stopping migrants crossing the Channel to UK. Ms Truss appeared to be seeking to strike a more conciliatory tone ahead of a meeting today with Mr Macron at a United Nations summit in New York.
