French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron said he would be a firm negotiator with the U.K. in talks regarding its withdrawal of the European Union.
“I will be pretty tough on it because we have to preserve the rest of the European Union,” Macron said in an interview with the U.K.’s Channel 4 News. “It’s not to be punished but to be consistent with such a decision. You don’t get a passport and you don’t get access to the single market when you decide to leave.”
