Macron to Hold First Talks with UK’s Burnham After Viewing Bayeux Tapestry in London French President Emmanuel Macron's joint visit to the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been touted as a step towards healing the rancour of the Brexit years.
However, the underlying motivations behind Macron's push for closer ties with Britain are more complex.
Macron has long advocated for European integration and has been working to strengthen EU Britain cooperation since his days as Economy Minister.
