Macron: Use of chemical weapons in Syria a 'red line'

The use of chemical weapons in Syria is a red line for France and would result in reprisals, President Emmanuel Macron warned on Monday, after meeting his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

Speaking at a news conference following the meeting and quoted by AFP, Macron said that France and Russia must cooperate to "eradicate terrorist groups" in Syria and did not directly criticize Moscow's role there.
