Italy summons French ambassador amid migrant row
ROME, June 13, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Italy’s foreign ministry said it had
summoned the French ambassador Wednesday, amid a diplomatic spat between the
two countries over the handling of a migrant crisis.
On Tuesday French President Emmanuel Macron accused Italy of
“irresponsibility” after the Rome government refused to open its ports to an
NGO ship carrying hundreds of migrants in the Mediterranean.
