Macron tried to punish me for Brexit, Boris Johnson complains – POLITICO

LONDON — Emmanuel Macron tried to make Britain suffer for leaving the European Union, Boris Johnson laments in a new book.

In the latest extract from his memoir “Unleashed,” the former U.K. prime minister accused the French president of “weaponizing” irregular migration to undermine Brexit.

He said Macron seemed prepared to turn a blind eye to gangs smuggling people across the English Channel, and claimed that the French leader saw Brexit as “a terrible snub to the EU and to his view of the world.”
