Macron told a Sunday newspaper in France: My handshake with him, it wasnt innocent.
He added: One must show that you wont make small concessions, even symbolic ones, but also not over-publicise things, either.
Macrons office confirmed the veracity of the presidents comments in Le Journal du Dimanche.
