French President Emmanuel Macron will not attempt to pressure US President Donald Trump into any difficult situation, as his goal is to make the best of a difficult situation, Dr. Igor Delanoë, Deputy-Head of the French-Russian Analytical Center Observo, at the French-Russian Chamber of Commerce, told valdaiclub.com. According to Delanoë, Iran will remain a point of contention, particularly as the French and US presidents deal with the issue of Syria.

On the diplomatic front, the main outcome of the military operation of Russia was to bring Westerners and petro-monarchies of the Gulf to the negotiating table. But the Russian military operation has also shown its limits.
