(ANSA) - BERLIN, APRIL 13 - German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius described Emmanuel Macron's comment as "unhappy", stating that France is an ally but not a "vassal" of the United States.
On a visit to Mali, speaking with the ZDF, the minister said: "I found this statement unfortunate but I think that the Elysée has already corrected it in some way. We have never risked becoming or being vassals of the United States".
