Liz Truss is “taking seriously” France’s request for Britain to join a new European political community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to government sources, the Prime Minister will consider attending talks in Prague next month if they focus on energy security and the small boat crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they met for talks in New York on Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron raised his plan for a new informal grouping directly with Prime Minister Liz Truss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brexit supporters are concerned that Mr Macron will use a new alliance to entice Britain into the EU’s orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Truss is understood to be sceptical about the grouping and will only look at involvement if it leads to \u201cdelivery\u201d on critical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A senior government source said: \u201cWe are taking it seriously and looking at it. It\u2019s a relatively new idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe reason why we are looking at it is it is not focused too much on structures. What we would have to see is it has a very focused agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the test the Prime Minister will make when assessing how best to engage with it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
