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

Ms Truss and the Commission president took the unusual step of meeting in private for 30 minutes, with no officials present to take notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms von der Leyen stated that they had a “good conversation” about the protocol.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
