France silent on PM May's statement on failed Brexit negotiations

French President Emmanuel Macron's office said it had no comment to make about British Prime Minister Theresa May's speech on Friday about the state of Brexit negotiations, following a fraught summit in Austria.

May told the European Union that it should come up with an alternative to her Brexit proposals and warned she would never accept a break-up of the United Kingdom, saying negotiations were at an impasse.

"No comment," an Elysee official told Reuters when asked about May's statement.
