French President Emmanuel Macron has urged his US counterpart Donald Trump to lift “unjustly imposed sanctions” against several European citizens – including former European commissioner Thierry Breton and judge Nicolas Guillou, French media reported Sunday.

“I wish to personally draw your attention to the sanctions imposed by the United States against several European citizens, including two French nationals, Nicolas Guillou, a judge at the International Criminal Court, and Thierry Breton, a former European commissioner,” the French president wrote in a letter to Donald Trump, according to La Tribune Dimanche newspaper.
